    They will win almost every game because their offense can score and score and score some more. But they will not cover the kind of big of inflated lines a #2 team is shown imo. There is just not enough defense to finish in the top 3. I'm looking for a 5-10th finish.

    ND hasn't been that good ats in recent years anyways. I am a huge Irish fan, but trust me, I will be fading them all season.

      What do you think about their opening game at Ga Tech?

              Their offense and lack of defense is gonna light up the scoreboard this season.

                Did I see Herbstreit pick Notre Dame in the national championship game or was I imagining that? I was in a loud, loud bar when I saw it and thought, "surely, that's not the case".

                  I'm sure as hell not betting against them in week one, especially with Reggie Ball at the helm for G.T...

                    Ebone - yes Herbstreit picked them. I couldn't believe it either given his Ohio State is so hyped this year. Their offense will be awesome again, there D is the question although they do have some good athletes on D (Zibikowski). I have no problem laying 7.5 on the road vs G Tech week 1. You give Charlie Weiss over a month to gameplan and the athletes they have on offense and I don't see how they don't score at least 40 like they did on Pitt opening game last year.

                      The big question here is can GT's D contain ND's offense. GT has a top 20 D but I've noticed they have trouble containing pass-oriented multiple formation type offenses like ND's. GT will likely score around 20 pts while ND could score anywhere between 20 - 40 pts depending on how sharp their offense is. Remember offenses tend to be behind defenses at the start of the season and GT's not a place where you want to start your season particularly when the game will be at night and a prime time televised game giving GT a little more of a home field edge. I see the line's at 7 but see no value on playing either side.

                        that's the way I see it as well, darkghost, but I think those that play G.T. may end up sick to their stomachs...if you lose with ND in this one so be it, but the G.T. backers may have some problems...
