Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes. It will most likely be the very first and only time this year we do this, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to a regular-season game of NCAA soccer featuring one of the very best teams in the country, and a mythical football program to boot, Notre Dame. Without further ado, let us start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it appears like its my turn for the gold wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares laying the lumber on a road favorite. After reviewing the school football odds almost six days ahead of the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 round the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks. I love the Irish but youre currently leaning to the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you think Louisville could hang with the boys? Doug Upstone: YesSwinger, and a convincing triumph IMO, said a great deal about the Steelers and Titans direction. Let us proceed to real soccer, so will our recordings with this one and in which the matches rely. Recall those Thursday night games Louisville utilized to perform against opponents? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club. But such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville football last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield worked wonders at Appalachian State and will be out win matches and to alter the culture. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down from theVille. Yet , this is a significant time for Louisville, a team that has the chance to begin taking steps in the ideal direction. I have read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall since 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. Please do tell why youve got up your Irish. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much as 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 group coming off of a dismal 2-10 album last year, where they went winless in ACC activity. This rebuild is comparable to attempting to turn it into an F-22 Raptor and carrying a hot air balloon. While this may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and owned one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and going 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 query is, just how will be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to discharge, supposed to obtain some traction against a defense that is Irish? Particularly when he is working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive strategy? Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace and I am desperate for your sage wisdom and handicapping expertise! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to see in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the same wise a** you are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football picks decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 final season. Like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer and his team will be sold by Satterfield on building a statement this being a federal match. Louisville does have to trust they will not be taken by the Irish and not have much fight. Lets also consider, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and if dishing out 20 or more specimens, a ATS. This defense you said may improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even if you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it is going to take some time. I was being a bit facetious because though you have an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, because Louisville could be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an equally awkward coach like Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks. I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for certain along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the public is correct, and also in this case they are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
