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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to 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 its now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Apart from the place is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, at least and a convincing win IMO, it said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us proceed to football, so will our recordings on this one and where the matches count.
Recall Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to alter the civilization and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much flying into this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album in which they went winless last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a new attitude and this being a game, Satterfield will sell his team on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be better compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally inept coach like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the people is right, and in this situation they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
