Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our school 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 feet. It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do this, as the previous week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the greatest teams in the country, and a legendary football program to boot, Notre Dame. Without further ado, let us begin the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while the Titans were endorsed by me. We have been swapping wins back and on so it looks like its my turn to the gold wreath, as I heartily endorse the Irish and will accompany the squares laying the lumber that is heavy onto a public road favorite. After reviewing the college football odds nearly six days ahead of this Monday night affair, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point about the preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks. I like the Irish but youre currently leaning in this clash to the Cardinals. Besides the venue, why is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys out of South Bend? Doug Upstone: Yes a win and at least IMO, said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move to real soccer, where the games rely and so can our records onto this one. Remember Louisville utilized to play against opponents? They more than held their engineered and own upsets. These were fun games to watch and also the Cardinals were a thrilling club. But for example the former Papa Johns Stadium and its fake (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield worked wonders and will be out to change the culture and win matches. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. This is a big moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps. I have read where the Cards coaches have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall since the lead running back. Than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 the defense that makes me more worried. You have up your Irish please dont forget. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing as the Notre Dame defense will keep them snug in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless this past year. 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 confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past 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 met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The Irish offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per match over. My issue is, how can be a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, supposed to obtain any traction against a shield that is Irish? Especially when hes working with a new coach and an entirely new offensive scheme? Please, Doug, rescue 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 for your ancestral wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the bright side of sport gambling, or you are simply being the identical wise a** you usually are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are currently making school football selections decide on that. I am the first to understand Louisville fully pumped and was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS final year. However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up on the Atlanta Falcons. A fresh attitude is brought by A new trainer and his staff will be sold by Satterfield on making a statement with this being a federal match. Louisville does need to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight. Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with the gold and blue is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS when dishing out 20 or more specimens. This defense you said might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take some time. I was a bit facetious because although you have an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville could be better than last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable document left by an trainer like Petrino. I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for sure along with Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but sometimes the people is correct, and in this instance they are. Until next week when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
