ND a possible play next week???

[HoosierDaddy]

Obviously, we don't the lines, but I think ND could be a play next week. I know they looked awful.

Also, Stanford over BYU, who comes off a big win.

Your thoughts, please.

yeah my thought is why would you want to bet on Notre Dame?. They were 6 point favs. so what if they made a comeback, they still lost and still are not good. stanford is beating a bad team right now so it is tough to know how good they are.

Possible play on ND. Start Fading them. They looked completely terrible. I will give some credit to BYU's Defense though. Stanford over BYU might be a good play...have to wait & see.

The UM-UND series traditionaly goes to the underdog, though last year at AA UM smoked UND as a 10 pt. fav. I would expect UM to be favored next week even in SB. This used to be a series where two great teams would get together and this is why the dog always covered, 4 or 6 points would be huge, but often the dog would win outright.

That said, UND no longer sits at the table with the big boys, while UM is right there front and center. Irish luck only goes so far and they have had none of it lately. UM is so much more talented right now I don't feel anybody in their right mind should take UND against them. There will be enough action coming in from UND traditionalists and loyalists to keep the books balanced, but the smart money goes on UM here.

Lloyd Carr has been there done that. UM always plays tough foes well, UND does not even qualify as a tough foe any more. T. Will is a poor coach at best, so this is another huge edge for UM.
Godspeed, thepig.

OMG, ND is awful. No playmakers. Quinn looked terrible, no WR's and RB Grant isn't the answer as the OL couldn't run block. Their 2ndary can be had. Ty Will WON'T. He said his players are in place for his West Coast BS offense. Ouch. I originally said ND could be 2-9 and waffled to 5-6. If they do win at least 5 it's because their opponents are down, not because ND is better. This is one bad team. Yes, BYU has a good defense, but the bottom line is, ND is terrible. Un believable.
Michigan lost it's backfield but has great WR's and if Gutierrez is even half of Quinn, they will rout ND. Sweet Jesus, the sky is crying.

please express some opinions as to what the UM-UND line might be next week. The game is in SB.
Thepig thinks UM by 4, maybe 5.

Godspeed, thepig.

Why do you punt the ball with 3 minutes left? I think the best play is the under. Mich will settle for FG's. ND will score with special teals - Michigans are awful. I got ND +7.5 earlier in the summer, might be a little too low.
