Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I shall deviate to dip our toes into uncharted waters and leave our school football selections on the Monday night game 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 exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet on the Steelers while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins on and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany each of the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks.
Doug, I love the Irish but you are currently leaning within this season-opening battle to the Cardinals. Other than the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a successful win and IMO, it said a lot about the direction of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to real soccer, in which the matches count and so will our records with this one.
Remember Louisville used to perform against opponents? They held their own and engineered several upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win matches and to change the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down from theVille. However this is a moment for Louisville, a team that has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield, well, which makes me more worried than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. 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 comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a group coming off of a dismal 2-10 record last year, in which they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to trying to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per game.
So, my question is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, designed to get some traction against a defense that is Irish? Especially when he is 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 is going to have the ability to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and your sage wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im happy to read in your last sentence you are coming around to the bright side of sports gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making school football selections decide on that. Im the first to understand Louisville was, however, 1-11 ATS and fully pumped last season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude and with this being a national game, Satterfield will market his staff on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope the Irish will take them and not have a lot of fight.
Lets also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, when dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even when you dont/can not recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but I would submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the people is right, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
