Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football selections and then also that I will detract 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 compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue, why do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a successful triumph, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to real football, in which the matches count and so will our records with this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, for example 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 and will be out win games and to alter the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a major time for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking steps.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with a coach and a completely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for your sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a fresh mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, this being a game. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
