Notre Dame & Alababama on a Neutral Field : Line would be ?

GUMMO77 · 10-28-12, 01:26 AM

Fun thread, Sammy.

Bama has to be -14.5 for the books to get 50/50...right?

Monte · 10-28-12, 01:47 AM

What are you guys smoking, the line should be around -17...did you all forget what Bama did to LSU in a game that meant something, and that Bama plays on another planet as far as college goes?
ND was +13 vs. Okla, are you telling me the line would be lower against Bama *lol*

One its at a neutral site, and seeing as ND beat the spread by a minimum of 27, this one might swing a little. Anywhere from Bama -10 to Bama -14.5, don't really know, I don't set the lines, I just beat them.

First, ND was not +13, they were either +10.5 or +11. Second, game was at Oklahoma, so that's only ND +7.5 neutral.

Closed +11 at CRIS, +10.5 at Pinny. BI is irrelevant.

Monte · 10-28-12, 10:23 AM

Oklahoma is irrelevant too, just how much stronger is Bama?
If you are a 11-13 whatever dog in Okla, you would be at least +17 in Bama. I would rather make it +20.

If the line would be -14 or even -13 on neutral field as some suggest (i won't comment on anything lower...) sharps would be all over it.
Books are not impressed that easily by a team that does good, when comparing it to superior Bama.
And why should they, 2 TDs are nothing when Alabama decides to destroy someone...and it doesn't matter if it's ND who did well before.

If the line would be +17 AT Alabama, then that makes +13 or +13.5 neutral very reasonable.

Bama is only -8 at LSU and Notre Dame is better than them

Sam Odom · 10-28-12, 04:37 PM

-8 playing on the road at LSU

On a neutral field bama -10 1/2 or more

JMUplayer · 10-28-12, 07:39 PM

I dont' understand why people think ND schedule is that tough... 3 big 10 teams none of which in the top 25.... stanford who doesn't have a QB... Oklahoma is solid but they havent won a significant non conference game in a decade... Miami? BYU they aren't cupcakes like kentucky but they aren't good teams in 2012... maybe in 1999.

Ohio State all those years played the same type of schedule then got ROLLED by the SEC

MTek · 10-28-12, 07:58 PM

One penalty for five yards, zero turnovers, and 17 unanswered points in a tied game with seven minutes to go and in a hostile environment against a top ten team! Need we say more about this team?

MTek · 10-28-12, 08:06 PM

Alabama played Florida A&M and Western Carolina, LSU plays Towsen and Wofford and your stating ND doesn't play a tough enough schedule?
Find me 2 teams on ND's schedule weaker then those 2

If anything the SEC teams are loaded with "cupcakes"

Unlikely to happen.

pokernut9999 · 10-28-12, 08:18 PM

Why do you care what the spread would be , hardly ever comes into play anyway.

Pretty sure every big game this year the SU winner covered the spread.

The Giant · 10-28-12, 08:22 PM

-10.5
