Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and I shall deviate to dip our feet and also render our college football picks.
It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season game of NCAA football comprising one of the very best teams in the country, and a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to get the wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany all the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals. Besides the place is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing win, it said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to real soccer, will our recordings on this one and where the games rely.
Remember those Thursday night matches Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked miracles and will be out to alter the culture and win matches. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. However , this is a time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, that makes me more nervous. You have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. 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. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and going a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my question is, just how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to get some traction against a swarming defense? Especially when he is working with an offensive strategy that is entirely new and a new coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to handicapping experience and your brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport betting, or you are simply being the identical shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making this is decided on by school football picks. Im the first to realize Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year.
Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons but coach Bobby Petrino was given up on by that staff COMPLETELY. A fresh mindset is brought by A new coach and this being a game, Satterfield will sell his team. Louisville does have to hope not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take time.
I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this case, because Louisville might be greater but I would submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record rendered by an inept trainer like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the public is right, and in this situation they surely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
