Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and that I will detract to dip our toes and render our college football picks. It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the last week of exhibition NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster in comparison to some regular-season sport of NCAA soccer comprising one of the very best teams in the nation, and a legendary football program to boot up, Notre Dame. Without further ado, lets start the debate after my buddy Doug Upstone got the best of me last week while the Titans were supported by me. Weve been swapping wins on and back so it looks like its my turn to the gold wreath, as I will follow the squares laying the lumber onto a street favorite and heartily endorse the Irish. After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before this Monday night event, I see that the lineup has spiked a half-point on the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is now offered in a solid -20 across the board whatsoever the best internet sportsbooks. I like the Irish but you are currently leaning on the Cardinals within this battle. Aside from the venue is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys from South Bend? Doug Upstone: Yup , Swinger, a convincing triumph and IMO, it said a great deal about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Let us move to football, will our recordings with this one and where the matches count. Recall all those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against competitions that are big-name? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were fun games to watch and the Cardinals were an exciting golf club. But like the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its phony (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last year was worse than a three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield will be out win games and to alter the civilization and worked wonders. This wont happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a major moment for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity to begin taking steps. Ive 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 direct running back. Than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins the defense that makes me more worried. Why you have your Irish up please dont forget. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not 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 he has a group coming off of a dismal record in which they went winless this past year. This rebuild is akin to attempting to turn it and taking a hot air balloon. While that may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP last year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the normal season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders also, averaging 33 points per game over. My question is, how will be a quarterback like Pass whos slow to release, designed to get any traction against a swarming Irish shield? Especially when hes working with an offensive scheme and a new trainer? Please, Doug, rescue me Im lost! I see no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to have the ability to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for prodigious handicapping expertise and the brand new wisdom! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, Im pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. I will allow the SBR readers who are currently making this is decided on by school football selections. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was, but 1-11 ATS last year. However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a fresh attitude on making a statement and this being a game, his team will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does need to hope never and the Irish will take them have much fight. Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with all the gold and blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, and a ATS if dishing out more or 20 digits. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but replacing five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or Bama, it will take time. Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although youve got an handicapping that was impressive restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better compared to last year but Id submit that they could be trained by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their document rendered by an coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks. I understand that laying nearly three touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but at times the people is correct, and also in this case they definitely are. Until when we get back on our NFL Game of the Week next week, lets see what happens on Monday when the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
