Only thing here that concerns me is that it is in Miami. Notre Dame has been battle tested this year so far. Miami is an ok team. They have poor outside shooting and tend to play street ball.
Thoughts?

I have to bite on this. Miami hasn't won any big games this year and I do not like the way their team plays. Notre Dame has been playing at a high level. Tough road trip for Notre Dame next few games and this might be their best chance for a win on this road trip.
Taking ND +4.5

Another game I'm thinking about is Valp now at -8.5. I have actually been fading them on covers the last few games. Alec Peters is a good player vs tough competition (you can see his weaknesses) but he is a great player vs weak competition. Hammink is their Achilles heal. The kid is either winning games with key plays or turning the ball over. Seems to be the latter of the 2 lately. With that being said I think Valp finally gets a cover here. They are due.

Good stuff. Hopefully Miami doesn't disappoint. They usually don't show up for big games.

Glad to see that someone else applies their personal viewpoint of how a team plays into their pick instead of just using stats.
I hate to make a play on a team that I haven't seen play. Did it more than once this year and... 'couldn't believe I made a play on this team!!' ...even though they covered in some instances.

You could be right. This could be Miami's signature win of the season.

Well thankful for my 545 meeting lol. I was late and trying to get my bet in and had spotty service 1 min before the start. It said line change to 4.5 when it was going in at 5 and i was unable to bet cincy. Now that was lucky. Cincy should of covered though...whew dodged a bullet though

Would not say Cincy should've covered. SMU did what they do, hit shots, D'd up late, and easily could have won that game themselves -- go-ahead three in the last minute was in and out! Super impressed with how the Mustangs hung in.

I only got to see the last minute, but you are right it could of went either way. If smu didn't hit that corner 3 they made they were done. On the other hand they did and the potential lead giving and game tying lay ups were both missed that easily could of gone in.
Man I was so torn on the game. I wanted SMU at first then saw everyone on them and it scared me off of them. Should of just stuck to my guns. Either way though I got lucky because I didn't lose so I'll take it. Although I would of probably been mad if I tried to get smu and it didn't go in. Lol.
