Once again…
Is Bernie Sanders setting the spreads and betting lines for Notre Dame football this season?
Once again, the Irish are welcoming a MAC school to South Bend for a mid-afternoon matchup inside Notre Dame Stadium — and once again the Irish are basically a 4 touchdown favorite to win the game.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Notre Dame is a 27.5 point favorite over Miami of Ohio with an over/under of 44.5 points.
Last week Notre Dame absolutely destroyed the Purdue Boilermakers on the road, 66-7. The week before, however, was a little stiffer competition as they fell to the Northern Illinois Huskies, 16-14.
Can it happen again?
Honestly — I don’t know. There’s very little about this Irish team that I am certain of anymore, and I think it’s fair if someone looks at the spread and says, “you know what? That Riley Leonard can’t throw a touchdown pass — give me Miami and the points.”
It is what it is until it isn’t.
