Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall detract to dip our feet and then leave our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the very 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 football comprising one of the top teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I love the Irish. Besides the venue, why is it that you think Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup at least and a successful triumph IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to football, so will our records on this one and where the games rely.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win games and to alter the culture. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal record last year in which they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and Im desperate to prodigious handicapping experience and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making school football picks decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also if dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this case 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 once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
