Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams 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 better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals in this clash. Aside from the venue, why do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, and a win IMO, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real soccer, in which the matches count and will our recordings on this one.
Remember Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a big moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The protection that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record last year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only 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 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate for the sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or youre just being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football picks decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer and with this being a federal match, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
