Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely 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 a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the greatest clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes a convincing win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, so will our recordings on this one and in which the games rely.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking actions.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, in which they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group that made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my query is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy 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 up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sport betting, or youre just being the identical shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on this. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer on building a statement, and this being a national match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is right, and in this instance they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
