Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and that I shall detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the very best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning to the Cardinals within this clash although I like the Irish. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, a triumph and at least IMO, said a great deal about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to football, where the matches rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles in Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a major moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance to start taking actions in the ideal direction.
I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The defense that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why 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 inside their nest flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 record this past year where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain any traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping expertise and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the exact identical shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked final year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A trainer brings a new mindset and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a game. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them and never have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly with the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward trainer such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this case they surely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
