Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the very best teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night event, 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 at a solid -20 round the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although doug, I love the Irish. Apart from the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a successful triumph, said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real football, so will our records on this one and in which the games count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (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. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal album last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping experience and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked last season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh attitude and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his team on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this instance they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
