Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall detract to dip our toes and then also render our school football selections.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it appears like it is my turn to get the gold wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line 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 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning on the Cardinals although doug, I like the Irish. Other than the place do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a triumph IMO, it said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to soccer, so will our records on this one and where the games rely.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked wonders at Appalachian State. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a huge time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to begin taking steps in the perfect direction.
I have read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the defense which makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album last year in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed 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 fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a new trainer and an offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace and I am desperate to the sage wisdom and prodigious handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a fresh attitude and with this being a match, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you said might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and also in this case they definitely are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
