Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the country, plus a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I endorsed the Titans. We have been swapping wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Apart from the place, why is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys in South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes, Swinger, a triumph and IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to real soccer, will our records on this one and in which the games count.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions that are big-name? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the culture and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more worried. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record in which they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a new trainer?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for your brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read 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. I will allow the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and completely sucked final season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new trainer and this being a game, Satterfield will market his team on creating a statement. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is correct, and in such situation they really are. Until next week once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
