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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, 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 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a win IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to real soccer, so will our records on this one and in which the matches count.
Remember Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a significant time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking 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 owned 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 clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with a trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville wasnt just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a new mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a federal game. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this instance they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
