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 detract to dip our feet and then also render our college football selections.
It will most likely be the very first and only time this season we do so, as the previous week of display NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest clubs in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame.
Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn to get the gold wreath, since I heartily endorse the Irish and will follow all the squares laying the heavy lumber on a public street favorite.
After reviewing the school football odds nearly six days prior to the Monday night event, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered in a solid -20 throughout the board at all the best internet sportsbooks.
Doug, I like the Irish but youre leaning onto the Cardinals within this season-opening clash. Other than the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys?
Doug Upstone: Yes IMO and at least a convincing triumph, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to soccer, in which the games count and will our recordings with this one.
Recall Louisville used to perform against competitions? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to see and also the Cardinals were an golf club.
However, just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza.
Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the culture and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Yet this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to begin taking actions.
I have read where the Cards trainers have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season 23, the protection, well, which makes me more nervous. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget.
Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing much as the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this game. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record where they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it.
While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a team that made it into the CFP this past year and possessed one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 until they met Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over.
So, my question is, just how is a quarterback like Pass whos slow to discharge, designed to get any traction against a defense that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a new coach and a completely new offensive scheme?
Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to your ancestral wisdom and handicapping experience!
Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming over to the sunny side of sport betting, or youre just being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on that. Im the first to realize Louisville was, but 1-11 ATS and sucked final season.
Just like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons but that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach on building a statement and with this being a federal match, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight.
Lets also consider, Brian Kelly using the gold and blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS, when dishing out more or 20 specimens. This defense you said might improve as the year progresses but replacing five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Clemson or Bama, it is going to take time.
Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this instance, you happen to be shooting blanks because Louisville could be greater than last year but I would submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document rendered by an equally inept coach such as Petrino.
I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this situation they are. Until once we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to rumble in Louisville.
