Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the top teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the gold wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this clash although doug, I like the Irish. Apart from the place, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches count.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense , well, that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed 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 met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My query is, how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping experience that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was not only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer on making a statement, and with this being a national game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville could be greater but Id submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the general public is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
