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 picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning within this clash to the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to football, will our records with this one and where the matches count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to start taking steps in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, that makes me more worried. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a coach and a completely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was not only 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on building a statement, and this being a national match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are educated by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record made by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
