Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will detract to dip our feet and then leave our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, in which the games count and will our records with this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the perfect direction.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album this past year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre just being the identical wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new trainer on building a statement and with this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
