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 picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals in this clash although doug, I like the Irish. Other than the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a successful win and IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to real football, where the matches rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They more than held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the civilization and win games and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a big time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The protection that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal album this past year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming defense? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to handicapping expertise and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or you are just being the exact identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked last year.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A trainer brings a new mindset and this being a federal game, Satterfield will sell his team on making a statement. Louisville does need to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better compared to last year but I would submit that they are educated by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an trainer like Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this instance they surely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
