Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn for the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares putting the thick 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 preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Apart from the venue do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing triumph, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real football, so will our records on this one and where the games rely.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
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 since the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense which makes me more worried. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal album where they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when he is working with a coach and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping experience and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A coach on creating a statement and this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or Clemson, it will take time.
I was being a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be better but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and in this situation they surely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
