Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters and also render our school football selections.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the top clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night time, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning in this battle to the Cardinals. Besides the place, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a convincing win and IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win matches. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a significant time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense, well, which makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group last year, in which they went winless coming off of a dismal album. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my query is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sports betting, or you are simply being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a new mindset and this being a game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and also never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this case they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
