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 picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest teams in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Other than the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a convincing win and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to football, in which the games rely and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and are out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity to start taking steps.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The defense, well, that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group 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 over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my issue is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a shield? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or youre just being the exact wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new attitude and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his staff. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and in this situation they definitely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
