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 and also I will deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered in a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals within this clash. Other than the place do you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, and a triumph IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches count.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and the Cardinals were an club.
But just for example 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 worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to change the civilization. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big time for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity to start taking actions.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The defense which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal album in which they went winless in ACC action last year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over.
So, my query is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy?
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 handicapping experience and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sport gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was not just 2-10, however 1-11 ATS final year.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons. A new attitude is brought by A coach on making a statement and with this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to trust never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater than last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept trainer like Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this instance they certainly are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
