At home under the shadow of Touchdown Jesus, look for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to exact some revenge from last year's one-sided loss to the Michigan Wolverines.
Our Saturday afternoon college football selection is on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at home in South Bend plus the points over Michigan.
Last year, there were few bright spots for Lloyd Carr's Wolverines. His final season as head coach opened disasterously with a loss to Appalachian St, and then the Wolves got waxed by Oregon. Still, Carr's season was better than Charlie Weis' year in South Bend, and Michigan's 38-0 romp over the Irish in Ann Arbor showed just how bad Notre Dame really was.
This year, the Irish might surprise some folks, and I think they'll get their revenge on Saturday afternoon. Notre Dame falls into a 271-219 ATS shutout revenge system of mine, and also a team trend that's 14-1 ATS. That trend plays on the underdog in the Notre Dame/Michigan series provided the favorite is NOT playing with revenge.
Look for Notre Dame to crush Michigan on Saturday.
Free Pick: Notre Dame +1½ (-110)
