Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also that I shall detract to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the country, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost 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 at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Other than the place do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a triumph and IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets move to real football, in which the matches count and will our records on this one.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the civilization and win matches and worked miracles in Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a big 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 since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into 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 moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will be able to keep pace and Im desperate to your ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped last year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on making a statement and with this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is correct, and in this instance they definitely are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
