Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks and then I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school soccer odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals in this battle. Apart from the place, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a triumph and IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real soccer, will our records with this one and in which the games count.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps in the perfect direction.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the protection, well, that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making school football picks decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and this being a game, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and also in this case they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
