Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville
Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium
Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football selections and then also that I shall detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our toes into uncharted waters.
It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the best teams in the country, plus a legendary soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, lets begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it looks like it is my turn to the golden wreath, since I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow each of the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night event, I see the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered in a solid -20 throughout the board whatsoever the very best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening clash on the Cardinals. Aside from the place is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yup IMO and a successful win, it said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to soccer, will our records with this one and where the matches rely.
Remember Louisville utilized to perform against opponents that are big-name? They more than held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield are out win games and to alter the civilization and worked miracles. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. This is a moment for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to start taking steps.
I have read in which 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 lead running back. The shield that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest flying into this match. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and he has a group last year, in which they went winless in ACC action coming from a dismal 2-10 record. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor.
While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team which made it into the CFP last year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, devoting only 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match.
My question is, just how is a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to get some traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when he is working with an offensive scheme that is entirely new and a coach?
Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to prodigious handicapping experience and the brand new wisdom!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im glad to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the bright side of sport betting, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers that are making college football selections decide on this. Im the first to realize Louisville was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 and sucked last year.
But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A new mindset is brought by A new coach on building a statement and with this being a game, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to trust not and the Irish will take them for granted have much fight.
Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is only 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. This defense you mentioned may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/can not amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time.
I was being a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping that was impressive resume, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this circumstance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville might be better than last year but I would submit that they are coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an equally inept trainer such as Petrino.
I know that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is correct, and in this case they 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.
