Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football selections and then that I will detract to dip our toes.
It will probably be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the best teams in the country, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as I will accompany all the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and IMO, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to real football, where the games count and will our records with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out win matches and to change the culture. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonetheless, this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. You have up your Irish please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal album last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to gain any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a trainer?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the glowing side of sports betting, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville was not only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked last season.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is only 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 said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an awkward trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gaming the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and in such case they certainly are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
