Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I will deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and then leave our college football picks.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer 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 backed by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the very best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning in this clash onto the Cardinals. Aside from the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing triumph, said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us proceed to real soccer, so will our records on this one and in which the matches count.
Remember Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to begin taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 record this past year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it to the CFP last year and possessed 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 offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish defense? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for the ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport betting, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped last year.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A trainer brings a new mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement this being a federal game. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is right, and in this case they surely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
