Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then that I shall deviate from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Aside from the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and at least IMO, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to soccer, where the games count and so will our recordings on this one.
Recall Louisville utilized to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a major time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps in the right direction.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and hes got a team last year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned only 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 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to get some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when hes working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A coach and with this being a national game, Satterfield will market his staff on building a statement. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this situation they certainly are. Until when 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.
