Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and render our college football picks on the Monday night game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and also that I will detract to dip our toes into uncharted waters. It will most likely be the first and only time this season we do so, as the last week of display NFL soccer is somewhat lackluster compared to some regular-season sport of NCAA football featuring one of the very best clubs in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame. Without further ado, lets start the discussion after my buddy Doug Upstone got the better of me last week with a bet about the Steelers while I supported the Titans. Weve been swapping wins back and on so it appears like it is my turn to the golden wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares laying the heavy lumber onto a road favorite. 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 preferred, opening at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is currently offered at a solid -20 across the board at all the best online sportsbooks. Doug, I love the Irish but you are leaning within this battle on the Cardinals. Besides the venue is it that you think Louisville could hang with the boys? Doug Upstone: Yup a triumph and at least IMO, said a lot about both the Steelers and Titans direction. Lets move ahead to football, will our records on this one and where the games count. Recall Louisville used to play against big-name opponents? They held their own and engineered upsets. These were enjoyable games and also the Cardinals were an exciting golf club. However, such as the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville football last season 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 wont happen immediately as the talent level is down in theVille. However , this is a major time for Louisville, a team which has the opportunity. I have read where the Cards coaches have popped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (good name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall as the direct running back. The shield, well, that makes me more nervous than having a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9. Please do tell you have up your Irish. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals will not be doing much since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest flying in this match. Scott Satterfield is currently in the big leagues and he has a team coming off of a dismal 2-10 album where they went winless in ACC activity last year. This rebuild is akin to taking a hot air balloon and attempting to turn it in an F-22 Raptor. While that may eventually happen, the issue is that Louisville is confronting a group that made it to the CFP this past year and possessed only one of the stingiest defenses in all of college football, surrendering just 17.2 points within the regular season and moving a perfect 12-0 till they met Clemson from the CFP semifinals. The offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over. My issue is, how is a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, supposed to gain any traction against a Irish defense? Especially when he is working with a coach and an offensive strategy that is entirely new? Please, Doug, rescue me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form where Louisville is going to have the ability to keep up and I am desperate to handicapping experience that is prodigious and the ancestral wisdom! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am happy to read in your last sentence you are coming on to the bright side of sport betting, or you are simply being the same shrewd a** you usually are. Ill let the SBR readers who are currently making that is decided on by college football picks. Im the first to understand Louisville sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not just 2-10 last year. Just like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons, However, that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino. A new trainer brings a new mindset and this being a national game, Satterfield will market his team on building a statement. Louisville does have to trust not and they will not be taken by the Irish for granted have much fight. Let us also think about, Brian Kelly using gold and the blue is ATS as a road favorite, also a ATS if dishing out more or 20 specimens. That defense you mentioned might improve as the year progresses but substituting five starters, even whenever you dont/can not amuse like Bama or even Clemson, it is going to take time. I was becoming a bit facetious because though youve got an impressive handicapping restart, then you miss the mark from time to time. And in this scenario, because Louisville might be greater but Id submit that they are coached by a Rhesus monkey and enhance upon their deplorable record left by an inept coach such as Petrino you happen to be shooting blanks. I understand that placing nearly 3 touchdowns on the street would be square biz for sure and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but sometimes the public is correct, and in this instance they surely are. Until next week when we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, lets see what happens on Monday once the Irish come prepared to squint at Louisville.
