NCAAF Wagering: Duke Blue Devils (+6.5) vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-6.5)
This is it, kids! The game that will really tell us how bad the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are!
Can you think of a better game for the Fighting Irish to test their mettle than against one of the worst college football teams of all time? Before their game versus Northwestern, the Blue Devils had lost something like 400 games in a row. Okay, maybe not that many, but they did lose a lot of games and their streak only ended because they found a way, and I still do not know how, to beat the Northwestern Wildcats.
The makes the Blue Devils football record this year 1 and 9. 1 and 9!
Notre Dame, meanwhile, is a much more impressive 1 and 9 this year. Wait…that’s the same record! Here’s the deal with Notre Dame:
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is 3 and 9 against the spread in their last 12 games.
One of those 3 against the spread games occurred when they played the hapless, terrible, UCLA Bruins. They were 21 points underdogs in that one and found a way to win. Another one of those against the spread games was against Boston College where they only lost by 13 points. They were about a 27 point underdog in that game.
Now, the Irish have to give up points against the Duke Blue Devils. But, it’s the Blue Devils?
I know, the only reason to really bet on the Blue Devils is if their running around in shorts in an air-conditioned arena. They won’t be doing that. They will be chasing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish around a grass field.
Of course, the truth is that if the Irish are anything close to what they are supposed to be on paper, there is no excuse in this game. They should win this one easily. Then again, Northwestern shouldn’t have lost to the Blue Devils either.
Maybe, that leads me to believe that Notre Dame just is really that bad. Yes, worse than the Duke Blue Devils. Why? Because Duke only lost by 3 points to Navy. They also only lost by 5 points to Wake Forest and 10 points to Miami.
What that means is that the Blue Devils will stay in this game. When two of the worst teams in college football face off against each other always, always, always take the points.
The NCAA football betting line is Duke Blue Devils + 6.5 against the spread on the road versus the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
NCAAF Free Picks: Take Duke and the points but don’t get scared off of that money-line. This is Notre Dame they are playing.
