Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet and then leave our college football picks.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow all the squares laying the lumber onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning within this battle onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes at least and a successful win IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to soccer, so will our records with this one and where the matches count.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the culture and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal album where they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into 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 regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to get any traction against a Irish defense? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new trainer on making a statement and with this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an inept coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and in this instance they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
