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 then also that I shall detract to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the nation, plus a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning within this season-opening clash onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue, why do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to football, where the matches rely and so will our records on this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, 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 are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance to start taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, which makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team last year, where they went winless coming off of a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new 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 pace and Im desperate to your sage wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A coach brings a fresh attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a game. Louisville does have to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this situation they certainly are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
