Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I shall deviate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning in this clash to the Cardinals. Aside from the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to soccer, will our recordings with this one and where the games count.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the culture and worked miracles. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont 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 hes got a group coming from a dismal album this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed 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 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to get any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on building a statement, and with this being a federal game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document left by an equally inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is right, and also in this case they 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 ready to rumble in Louisville.
