Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Louisville Cardinals and I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our feet.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to a regular-season sport of NCAA soccer featuring one of the top clubs in the country, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while I endorsed the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to the gold wreath, as I will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish.
After reviewing the college football odds almost six days before the Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks.
You are currently leaning onto the Cardinals within this clash although doug, I love the Irish. Other than the venue, why do you think Louisville will hang with the boys from South Bend?
Doug Upstone: Yup a win and IMO, said a lot about the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets proceed to football, so will our recordings with this one and where the matches count.
Recall Louisville used to play against big-name competitions? They more than held their engineered and own many upsets. These were enjoyable games to watch and also the Cardinals were an club.
But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out to alter the culture and win games and worked wonders. This will not happen immediately as the ability level is down in theVille. Yet this is a moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking actions.
I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I like Hassan Hall as the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the shield which makes me more worried. You have up your Irish, please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest, flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal album last year, in which they went winless. This rebuild is akin to seeking to turn it and carrying a hot air balloon.
While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it to the CFP this past 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 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, how will be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a defense that is Irish? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme and a coach?
Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with this Golden Domers and I am desperate to the brand new wisdom and handicapping expertise!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming over to the bright side of sports betting, or you are just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football picks decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and fully pumped last season.
Like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new mindset is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does need to hope the Irish will take them for granted and never have much fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and all the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS, if dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, whenever you dont/can not amuse like Clemson or Bama, it will take time.
I was a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping resume, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record left by an equally awkward coach such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the people is right, and also in this situation they surely are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
