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 Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then also I shall detract from our regularly scheduled plan of NFL discussion to dip our feet into uncharted waters.
It will probably be the first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the nation, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets start the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been swapping wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn to the wreath, as I will follow each of the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a street favorite and endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all the very best internet sportsbooks.
I love the Irish but youre leaning within this clash on the Cardinals. Other than the place do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a successful triumph and IMO, said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move ahead to football, in which the matches count and so will our recordings with this one.
Recall those Thursday night games Louisville used to play against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were a thrilling golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield worked wonders in Appalachian State and will be out to change the culture and win games. This will not happen immediately as the talent level is down from theVille. However this is a huge moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity.
Ive read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense, well, that makes me more nervous. Please do tell why you have up your Irish.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing since the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and he has a team coming from a dismal album where they went winless in ACC activity this past year. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it in an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon.
While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a team that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging over 33 points per game.
My issue is, how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to gain some traction against a Irish shield? Particularly when hes working with a completely new offensive strategy and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and Im desperate to the ancestral wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am glad to see in your last sentence you are coming around to the sunny side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you are. Ill let the SBR readers that are making that is decided on by school football selections. Im the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final season.
However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new coach brings a new attitude and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust the Irish will take them and never have a lot of fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using all the gold and blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out 20 or more digits. That defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, because Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an trainer such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks.
I know that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this situation they are. Until next week once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
