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 game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening clash. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing win, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to football, in which the games count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield which makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying in this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer and this being a game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does need to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an awkward trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and in this case they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
