Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening clash although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Other than the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a win IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to soccer, where the matches count and so will our records on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album in which they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, 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 within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a defense? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive strategy and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping expertise and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a federal game. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an trainer like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and also in this case they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
