Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before this Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
I like the Irish but youre leaning within this battle to the Cardinals. Apart from the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a convincing win and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to soccer, where the games rely and will our records on this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against competitions? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the culture and worked miracles. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. However , this is a huge moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The shield which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record last year where they went winless. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my issue is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a shield? Particularly when hes working with an offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or you are just being the same shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was, however 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a fresh mindset on making a statement and with this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, because Louisville could be greater but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is right, and in this situation they definitely are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
