    Make the betting line?

    Notre Dame at Florida State

    I can't stomach ND, and their fans, but if they win this game Irish goes to the playoffs.

    FSU -9 1/2 sound right here?

    I remember a bookmaker telling me once that Notre Dame, NY Yankees, Boston Celtics, are public teams, and usually get juiced extra.
    (when the Celtics were relevant).
    He went on to tell me, a lot of squares will bet Notre Dame just because they are Notre Dame.

    I believe that to be correct and can probably include Duke and UNC basketball. As such, I'll probably be on Notre Dame anything over 10.

    I remember a 30/30 on Jimmy the Greek. Before internet, he used the phone and personal connections.
    ND was favored by a ton, Jimmy made a few calls, bet the farm on the dog (??? line/team) and cashed.
    I believe this game was his major start.

    Before yesterday's games, I would have said FSU -7-8 but ND was sloppy in their game vs. NC and it probably is up to 10-11 now. But I wouldn't take yesterday's games into account too seriously if deciding which side to take....Notre Dame was in a dangerous spot after just winning a big game and another big game to look at the following game. Typical sandwich game and it played out as expected.

    If the spread is double digits, I won't think twice about playing the Irish. If you think this is the same defense from Florida State as last year, you're crazy. They've got major holes. Even Syracuse moved the ball on them yesterday with a backup qb pretty easily, only to fail over and over again inside the 10-yard line. This Notre Dame offense can move the football and will score points next week against a shaky Noles defense. I don't think the Irish win because I think their defense has some holes as well that FSU will exploit, but I think they keep it around 31-24 or 35-31.

    Notre Dame's a good team, but not a top-4 team. They're still a year away. Just have too much youth right now.

    I think the early money comes in on ND
    I realy can't see people running to the windows on Monday and unloading on the Seminoles at that number.
    Not saying it's a bad number, but it's not going to get to 13

    I didn't think so either until CRIS opened. Let's see how Pinny handles it later.
