Mutual destruction
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are playing good football right now, and are poised to jump back into the top 10. Standing in their way is the United States Naval Academy. The Middies are currently undefeated and have hammered their opponents with the so-called “Sling-T” offense. Marcus freeman did some wild stuff last week to steal a few possessions from Georgia Tech — you have to wonder if there is more where that came from this week.
The spread on the game opened at Notre Dame -11.5 and is now sitting at Notre Dame -13.5.
(The podcast above has the game picks for this week, and also the new Earned 5-Star Top 20 rankings).
This looks to be a really solid week all around college football, and one that will have considerable impact on the next set of rankings. Besides Notre Dame vs Navy, here are some other games we are picking from around the country:
Pittsburgh Panthers VS Syracuse Orange
UNLV Rebels VS Boise State Broncos
Oregon Ducks VS Illinois Fighting Illini
UCF Knights VS BYU Cougars
Alabama Crimson Tide VS Missouri Tigers
LSU Tigers VS Texas A&M Aggies
Michigan Wolverines VS Michigan State Spartans
Other members of the One Foot Down Staff have their picks in as well. As always, we are using Tallysight to keep track of it all. If you want a special tip… look at what Boomer is doing, because he’s been one of the best in the country this season.
