Notre Dame +9 3.3% play

To me this is all about Al Golden being able to come up with a game plan like he has done in the past to keep this close.  Very difficult game to handicap for me otherwise and I haven't had a great pulse on Notre Dame all year long, but with a low total, and two slow paced teams I believe the value is on the Irish.  Ohio State has shown a vulnerability against power rushing attacks, and they got a bit lucky against Tennessee and Oregon who lost their RB's early in those games.  Love should be healthier with 10 days off, and Riley Leonard is also a threat.  Notre Dame's defense should be able to match up with the Ohio State's receivers and they'll be tough to score on in the red zone.  Notre Dame also 9th in explosive plays allowed. I think this is going to be a close game, but it does not warrant a MAX POD like I have released in the past in these big games. Good luck and thank you for investing in the 2024-25 College Football season!
