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 from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters and then leave our college 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 football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer 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 about the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days prior to this Monday night affair, I see the line 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 best online sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but you are leaning on the Cardinals within this season-opening clash. Other than the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville can hang with the boys out of South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, at least and a triumph IMO, said a lot about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, where the games rely and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall all those Thursday night matches Louisville used to play against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling club.
However, for example 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 wonders at Appalachian State and are out win matches and to alter the civilization. This wont happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the chance.
Ive read in which the Cards tutors have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good title for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection that makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please do tell.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless last year. This rebuild is akin to carrying a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a team which made it to the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My issue is, how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, supposed to gain some traction against a defense? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive strategy?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep pace with this Golden Domers and I am desperate for handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre just being the exact same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. I am the first to realize Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year.
But that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude and his team will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement this being a match. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish for granted and never have much fight.
Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using all the blue and gold is ATS as a road favorite, also a mere 7-9-1 ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not recruit like Clemson or even 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, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be better but I would submit that they are trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an coach like Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three 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 general public is correct, and in this instance they certainly are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
