Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and then that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our toes.
It will probably be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. Weve been placing wins on and back so it appears like its my turn for the golden wreath, as I endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the lumber on a public road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever of the best online sportsbooks.
Youre currently leaning to the Cardinals in this battle although doug, I love the Irish. Apart from the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans management. Lets move ahead to real soccer, so will our records with this one and in which the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville utilized to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club.
But 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 miracles at Appalachian State and will be out to change the civilization and win games. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps.
I have read where the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield, well, which makes me more worried. Please do tell youve got your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much flying into this match as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a team this past year, where they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my query is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Particularly when hes working with a trainer and an offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep pace and Im desperate for your ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre just being the exact wise a** you are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by school football picks. I am the first to understand Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked last year.
Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A coach brings a fresh attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, with this being a match. Louisville does need to trust they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and not have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they could be educated with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this case they definitely are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
