Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will detract to dip our toes and then also render our college football selections on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the top teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares laying the lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals within this season-opening battle. Other than the place, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes a win and IMO, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans management. Lets proceed to real football, so will our recordings on this one and where the matches rely.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against big-name competitions? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win games and to alter the civilization. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the shield that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up, please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying into this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group this past year, where they went winless coming from a dismal 2-10 album. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
My issue is, just how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a coach?
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 this Golden Domers and Im desperate for the brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise that is prodigious!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are just being the identical wise a** you usually are. I will let the SBR readers who are making that is decided on by college football selections. I am the first to realize Louisville wasnt only 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement, this being a national match. Louisville does have to trust never and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to 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 situation, because Louisville might be better than last year but Id submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand 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 road chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this case they definitely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
