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 game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then that I shall deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night event, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals although I love the Irish. Besides the place, why do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a triumph and at least IMO, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, in which the games rely and so will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out to alter the culture and win games and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the protection, well, which makes me more worried. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team that made it to the CFP this past 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 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when hes working with a coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport betting, or you are simply being the exact same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a national game. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this situation they definitely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
