Notre Dame (9) vs Louisville Monday, September 2 nd, 8:00 PM at Cardinal Stadium Swinging Johnson: This week Doug Upstone and leave our college football picks and that I will detract from our regularly scheduled program of NFL discussion to dip our feet. It will almost certainly be the 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 football featuring one of the very best teams in the nation, plus a mythical soccer program to boot, Notre Dame. Without further ado, let us start the discussion after my friend Doug Upstone got the better of me last week while I supported the Titans. Weve been placing wins back and forth so it appears like its my turn for the wreath, as the Irish are heartily endorsed by me and will follow the squares laying the lumber onto a public street favorite. After reviewing the school football odds almost six days before the Monday night affair, I see the line has spiked a half-point on the favorite, starting at Notre Dame -19 1/2 to where it is presently offered at a solid -20 throughout the board at all of the very best online sportsbooks. I enjoy the Irish but you are currently leaning in this season-opening clash to the Cardinals. Other than the venue do you think Louisville can hang with the boys? Doug Upstone: Yup Swinger, a win and at least IMO, it said a great deal about both the Steelers and Titans management. Let us move to real soccer, in which the matches count and so will our recordings with this one. Recall Louisville utilized to perform against big-name competitions? They held their engineered and own many upsets. These were fun games and the Cardinals were an golf club. But just for example the former Papa Johns Stadium as well as its counterfeit (in real life) owner, Louisville soccer last season was worse than a three-day-old pizza. Scott Satterfield are out win games and to change the culture and worked miracles at Appalachian State. This will not happen right away as the ability level is down in theVille. However this is a time for Louisville, a group that has the chance to start taking steps. Ive read in which the Cards trainers have sped up the slow mechanisms of QB Jawon Pass (great name for a QB) and I enjoy Hassan Hall because the lead running back. The shield which makes me more nervous than using a ticket for the Colts at OVER 9 for season wins. You have your Irish up, please dont forget. Swinging Johnson: The Cardinals wont be doing flying in this game since the Notre Dame defense will keep them cozy in their nest. Scott Satterfield is now in the big leagues and hes got a group coming from a dismal 2-10 album in which they went winless last year. This rebuild is comparable to taking a hot air balloon and seeking to turn it in an F-22 Raptor. While that may eventually happen, the problem is that Louisville is facing a group which made it to the CFP last year and possessed 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 Irish offense was clicking on all cylinders averaging 33 points per game over. My question is, how can be a quarterback like traveling whos slow to discharge, designed to obtain any traction against a swarming shield? Especially when he is working with a completely new offensive scheme and a trainer? Please, Doug, save me I am lost! I find no way, shape or form in which Louisville is going to be able to keep up with the Golden Domers and Im desperate to the brand new wisdom and prodigious handicapping expertise! Doug Upstone: Well, Swinger, I am pleased to see in your last sentence youre coming around to the sunny side of sports gambling, or youre simply being the same wise a** you are. Ill allow the SBR readers who are making college football selections decide on this. I am the first to understand Louisville completely sucked and was 1-11 ATS, although not only 2-10 last year. But that staff COMPLETELY gave up on coach Bobby Petrino, like he gave up around the Atlanta Falcons. A new trainer brings a fresh mindset on making a statement and this being a federal match, his staff will be sold by Satterfield. Louisville does have to hope they will not be taken by the Irish and not have a lot of fight. Lets also think about, Brian Kelly with all the blue and gold is simply 10-13-1 ATS as a road favorite, also when dishing out 20 or more digits, a mere 7-9-1 ATS. That defense you said may improve as the season progresses but substituting five starters, even when you dont/cant amuse like Bama or Clemson, it will take some time. Swinging Johnson: Well Doug, I was becoming a bit facetious because though you have an handicapping restart, you miss the mark from time to time. And in this situation, because Louisville could be better but Id submit that they could be coached by a Rhesus monkey and improve upon their deplorable record rendered by an awkward trainer such as Petrino, you happen to be shooting blanks. I understand that laying nearly 3 touchdowns on the road is square biz for certain and Joe Q. Public never got rich by gambling the heavy street chalk, but on occasion the public is right, and also in this case they certainly are. Until once we get down on our NFL Game of the Week, next week, lets see what happens on Monday night when the Irish come ready to rumble in Louisville.
