Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes and then also render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. We have been placing wins on and back so it appears like it is my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are currently leaning onto the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a successful win and IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to football, where the matches rely and so will our records with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win matches and worked wonders. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Nonetheless, this is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team coming from a dismal 2-10 record this past year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which 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 regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to gain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach on building a statement and this being a match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better than last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
