[ I think ND wins this handily. ]


This. If the line looks obvious, always go the other way.

Miami -13.5 is +750. Seems like a great bet for you to make.

I would not be surprised if ND wins big.

Miami may win, but they won't "skull frick" Notre Dame. The worst lost Freeman has ever had as HC was 13 points. UNC scored over 30 on Miami's defense, Carr is about to shred them.

Notre Dame covers this comfortably, IMO

I don't know, Miami can score against anyone and with the D injuries I think they shred the middle of the field passing. Ash has been a horrible hire for ND and the D looks like it is getting worse

Miami's defense is not very good at all. And Bill called out their DC basically calling him extremely predictable.

I bet Irish drop service academies due to injuries you get by playing them

Maybe schedule a couple of swac teams

This 5 point line will change for sure. Miami plus 5 is a good bet as many consider Notre Dame the underdog.

toney may steal the Heisman in south bend. sure Notre dame can win but Miami is the much more dangerous team... the boredom of the acc would make anyone play down to the competition.

When a spread seems too good to be true, it usually is. I'll be on Dame

serious question...who is as good as their ranking? I haven't seen a single team in college football that looks dominant and deserving of what we traditionally view as the #1 team in the country.

I don’t even know what this is supposed to mean in context of the idiotic conversations that happen on this board. Like the Indiana sucks crowd and doesn’t “deserve” to be ranked number 4 like any other team is that great this year.

It’s impossible to rank teams with some sort of historical context. There have to be teams ranked 1-25, Miami being way worse than 2016 bama has no bearing on them being number 1 in week 9 2026

That was basically my point.

Each season is independent of other seasons. What a #1 or #5 team may look like one season has no bearing about where they should fall in another season. After this week, we very well may have a 2 loss team in the top 5 and that doesn't mean they don't deserve their ranking, this year. It just means, this year, there is a lot of parity.

Miami and ND re opposites. Miami shows up for the big games and tanks against nobodies. ND beats hell out of bad teams and lays eggs in big games.
