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 and then also I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a legendary soccer 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 I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to get the golden wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals within this battle although doug, I love the Irish. Apart from the venue do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a successful win and at least IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real soccer, will our records on this one and in which the matches count.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to change the culture and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity to start taking steps in the perfect direction.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, 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 from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was, however 1-11 ATS and sucked last season.
Like he composed on the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a new mindset and with this being a game, Satterfield will market his staff. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in this situation they surely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
