Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters 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 first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top teams in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it appears like its my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares putting the thick lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening battle. Apart from the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, IMO and a successful win, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to soccer, will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against big-name opponents? They more than held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet this is a major moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield, well, that makes me more worried. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal album where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping experience and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the identical wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and in this case they certainly are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
