re: Notre Dame plus 10 points a sucker bet?

ND has a better defense than Kansas State, and a better defense than Oklahoma.

The ND offense is not its strength, but certainly better than LSU, and ND's defense is unquestionably better than LSU. ND has played far better competition than OU or LSU.

Don't forget ND haters, ND rested its starting QB last week in preparation for this week, and beat BYU and its #5 total defense with ND's 2 backup QBs. OU struggled against its only good competition (Kansas State primarily, Texas Tech to a lesser extent) this year. ND is equal to KSU at a minimum and arguably better than any team that plays Big 12 (weak) competition.

Don't get fooled by OU's weak schedule, ND did not have the luxury of playing Kansas, Texas, UTEP and a I-AA school, all terrible defenses that would struggle to stop a flag football team.

Talk all you want about OU's home record, but look at history and see ND is the only team that has been able to go there and break those winning streaks.
