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 picks and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning on the Cardinals although doug, I love the Irish. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a successful triumph and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to football, where the games count and will our records on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (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 civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into the game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, how is a cop such as Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked final season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take 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 circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an inept trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and also in this instance they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
