Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as I will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals. Besides the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a triumph IMO, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real soccer, so will our records with this one and in which the games count.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record this past year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my issue is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sports betting, or youre simply being the exact wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making school football picks decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last season.
Just like he composed on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a national game. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by that the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this instance they certainly are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
