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 and also I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the country, plus a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to get the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the venue do you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a successful win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, in which the matches count and so will our records on this one.
Recall those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to change the civilization and win games and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more worried. Why you have up your Irish please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying into this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a defense? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme and a trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or youre just being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new coach brings a new attitude on creating a statement and with this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because although youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is right, and in this instance they are. Until once we get back 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.
