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 selections on the Monday night game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and then I will deviate to dip our toes.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while I backed the Titans. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like it is my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber on a road favorite.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever the very best online sportsbooks.
I enjoy the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals in this season-opening clash. Aside from the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup a convincing win and IMO, it said a lot about the management of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, so will our records on this one and in which the matches rely.
Remember those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games to see and the Cardinals were an exciting club.
But just like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the civilization and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the opportunity.
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 because the direct running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the shield which makes me more worried. Please do tell you have your Irish up.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal record last year, where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per match.
So, my question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to release, supposed to gain any traction against a Irish defense? Particularly when hes working with a new coach and an offensive scheme that is entirely new?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate for handicapping expertise that is prodigious and your ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports betting, or youre simply being the exact shrewd a** you are. I will let the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and sucked last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that team COMPLETELY. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and with this being a national match, Satterfield will sell his staff on building a statement. Louisville does have to hope not and the Irish will take them have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their record rendered by an trainer like Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the general public is correct, and in this instance they are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
