Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM in Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our school football selections on the Monday night match between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and then I will detract to dip our feet into uncharted waters. It will almost certainly be the very first and only time this year we do so, as the previous week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football comprising one of the greatest teams in the nation, and a mythical soccer 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 I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins forth and back so it looks like it is my turn to the wreath, as I will accompany all the squares putting the thick lumber onto a road favorite and heartily endorse the Irish. After reviewing the college football odds almost six days prior to the Monday night affair, I see that the line has spiked a half-point about the favorite, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where its now offered at a solid -20 across the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks. Doug, I enjoy the Irish but you are leaning within this season-opening battle on the Cardinals. Apart from the place is it that you believe Louisville could hang with the boys? Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, IMO and a successful win, it said a lot about the direction of the Steelers and Titans. Lets proceed to football, where the games rely and will our records on this one. Remember those Thursday night games Louisville used to perform against opponents that are big-name? They held their engineered and own several upsets. These were enjoyable games and the Cardinals were an golf club. However, like the former Papa Johns Stadium and its phony (in real life) proprietor, Louisville soccer last season was worse than the usual three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield worked miracles and are out win matches and to change the civilization. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down from theVille. Nonethelessthis is a huge time for Louisville, a group which has the chance to start taking steps in the right direction. Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I like Hassan Hall because the direct running back. The shield, well, that makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Why you have up your Irish, please do tell. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them comfortable in their nest, flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is in the big leagues and hes got a group coming off of a dismal record last year where they went winless. This rebuild is akin to trying to turn it and taking a hot air balloon. While this may eventually occur, the problem is that Louisville is confronting a group which made it into the CFP this past year and owned only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points over the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they fulfilled Clemson in the CFP semifinals. The offense clicked on all cylinders averaging over 33 points per match. So, my question is, how is a quarterback like traveling who is slow to release, designed to get some traction against a swarming shield that is Irish? Especially when he is working with a coach and an offensive scheme? Please, Doug, save me Im lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville will be able to keep pace with the Golden Domers and Im desperate for handicapping expertise and your brand new wisdom! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence youre coming on to the glowing side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the exact same wise a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are making this is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville was not just 2-10, but 1-11 ATS and completely sucked final year. Just like he gave up about the Atlanta Falcons However, that team COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A fresh attitude is brought by A trainer and this being a game, Satterfield will market his team on making a statement. Louisville does have to hope never and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have a lot of fight. Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with gold and the blue is just 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS, when dishing out 20 or more specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, if you dont/cant recruit like Clemson or even Bama, it will take some time. Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was being a bit facetious because although you have an impressive handicapping resumethat you miss the mark from time to time. And in this event, you happen to be shooting, since Louisville may be better than last year but I would submit that they are trained with a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable document left by an coach like Petrino. I understand that placing nearly three touchdowns on the street is square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by betting the heavy road chalk, but on occasion the general public is right, and also in this situation they are. Until when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, let us see what happens on Monday when the Irish come ready to squint at Louisville.
