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 from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes and leave our college football picks.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the nation, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the 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 it is now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning within this clash to the Cardinals. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a convincing triumph and IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to soccer, will our records with this one and in which the matches count.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles at Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to start taking steps in the right direction.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my issue is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a defense? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A trainer and with this being a game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does need to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and in this case they surely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
