Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract to dip our feet and then render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly 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 a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning to the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and at least IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to real soccer, so will our recordings on this one and where the matches rely.
Remember Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win matches and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to start taking actions in the perfect direction.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a completely new offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville sucked and was, however 1-11 ATS last season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on making a statement and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an inept trainer like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and also in this case they are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
