Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will deviate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals in this clash. Aside from the venue do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a convincing triumph IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to real soccer, where the games count and so will our recordings with this one.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to change the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless this past year. This rebuild is comparable to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my query is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with a new trainer and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh mindset and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does have to trust not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater than last year but Id submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record left by an equally inept coach like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this case they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
