Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football picks and then that I will deviate from our regularly scheduled program of NFL debate to dip our toes. It will probably be the first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL football is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season game of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot up, Notre Dame. Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a wager on the Steelers while the Titans were backed by me. We have been placing wins forth and back so it looks like its my turn for the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will accompany the squares putting the thick lumber onto a public road favorite. After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days before the Monday night affair, I see the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its presently offered at a solid -20 round the board whatsoever of the very best internet sportsbooks. I love the Irish but youre currently leaning on the Cardinals within this clash. Besides the venue is it that you believe Louisville will hang with the boys out of South Bend? Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, and a win IMO, said a great deal about the management of both the Steelers and Titans. Lets move ahead to soccer, where the games rely and so will our recordings with this one. Remember Louisville utilized to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their engineered and own upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club. But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield are out to alter the culture and win matches and worked wonders in Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the talent level is down in theVille. Nonethelessthis is a significant time for Louisville, a group which has the opportunity to begin taking actions. Ive read in which the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanics of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and that I enjoy Hassan Hall as the lead running back. The protection that makes me more worried than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. Why you have your Irish up please do tell. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this match since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is presently in the big leagues and he has a group last year, where they went winless coming from a dismal record. This rebuild is comparable to carrying a hot air balloon and trying to turn it into an F-22 Raptor. While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and going a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders as well, averaging over 33 points per match. My issue is, how can be a quarterback like Pass who is slow to release, designed to gain any traction against a swarming defense? Particularly when he is working with a trainer and a completely new offensive scheme? Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville will have the ability to keep up and Im desperate to handicapping expertise that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the sunny side of sports betting, or you are just being the exact shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers that are currently making school football selections decide on this. Im the first to understand Louisville was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and fully pumped final season. Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new attitude is brought by A new coach and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on creating a statement, with this being a game. Louisville does have to trust never and that the Irish will take them for granted have a lot of fight. Let us also consider, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, and a mere 7-9-1 ATS when dishing out 20 or more digits. This defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant recruit like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time. Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville might be greater compared to last year but Id submit that they could be coached with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their record rendered by an equally inept coach like Petrino. I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road would be square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy street chalk, but at times the public is correct, and also in this instance they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday once the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
