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 deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and render our college football picks.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning within this battle on the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, and a convincing win IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, where the games count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the culture and win games and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The defense that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an entirely new offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making school football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on creating a statement and this being a federal game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and also in this instance they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
