Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will detract to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of 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 its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the civilization and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. However , this is a major time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
Like he composed on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude and with this being a game, Satterfield will sell his staff. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an awkward trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
