Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I will deviate to dip our feet.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the golden wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber on a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals although I like the Irish. Other than the place do you believe Louisville can hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a convincing triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to real soccer, will our recordings on this one and where the matches count.
Remember Louisville utilized to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and are out win matches and to change the culture. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers 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 defense, well, that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying into this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy inside their nest. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 document in which they went winless in ACC action this past year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team 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 fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My query is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a coach and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and I am desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on that. I am the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was, however, 1-11 ATS final year.
However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was a bit facetious because although youve got an 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 improve upon their document left by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and in this case they certainly 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 rumble in Louisville.
