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 selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably 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 a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I heartily 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 prior to this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening battle although doug, I enjoy the Irish. Other than the place, why do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a convincing win and IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move ahead to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an club.
But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonetheless, this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield which makes me more nervous. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record in which they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per game over.
My question is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a swarming defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making school football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped final season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he composed to the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and this being a national game, Satterfield will market his team. Louisville does have to trust the Irish will take them and not have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record left by an inept coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and also in this situation they surely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
