Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football picks and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
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 some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been placing wins back and on so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals. Apart from the place is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a convincing win and IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to real soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the civilization and worked wonders. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming off of a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep up and Im desperate to your sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre just being the exact identical shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and completely sucked last season.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he composed on the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a new mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a match. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping restart that you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three 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 general public is correct, and also in this situation they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
