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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract to dip our feet.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top clubs in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber on a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever of the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning onto the Cardinals. Aside from the place do you think Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a convincing triumph, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us move to real soccer, where the matches rely and will our recordings with this one.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and will be out to change the culture and win matches. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. However this is a time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. The protection that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. You have up your Irish, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal album last year, where they went winless in ACC action. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 and sucked final season.
Like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A coach and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is 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, if you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it is going to take some time.
I was becoming 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, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this instance they are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
