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 picks on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then also I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will almost certainly be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the top clubs in the country, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I backed the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and on so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares laying the lumber on a street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup and a successful win IMO, said a great deal about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real football, in which the matches rely and will our records with this one.
Remember all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win matches and to change the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This wont happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group that has the chance.
I have 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 direct running back. The protection, well, which makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Please do tell you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record where they went winless last year. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue 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, devoting only 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over.
My query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to obtain some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up and I am desperate to prodigious handicapping expertise and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre just being the same wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making college football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A coach brings a fresh mindset on creating a statement, and with this being a federal game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope not and the Irish will take them have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better compared to last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an awkward coach such as Petrino.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but at times the general public is right, and in this case they surely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
