Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and leave our school football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the best clubs in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn for the wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning on the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Besides the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a win and at least IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and where the matches count.
Recall Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out win games and to change the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. However , this is a significant moment for Louisville, a group that has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The defense which makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell why youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and owned 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 fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense has been clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my question is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming shield? Particularly when hes working with an entirely new offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the glowing side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a fresh attitude and with this being a game, Satterfield will market his team on making a statement. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by that the Irish for granted have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart that then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document left by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and in this situation they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
