Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters and leave our school football picks.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to this 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 currently offered in a solid -20 across the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, so will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out to alter the culture and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team with the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have 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 because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular year and heading a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an entirely new offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A trainer on making a statement and with this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them and not have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an inept trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and also in this case they definitely are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
