[JTLA]

Michigan Wolverines at Notre Dame Fighting Irish -3
Purdue Boilermakers vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish -21 (Indianapolis)
Notre Dame Fighting Irish -5.5 vs. Syracuse Orange (East Rutherford)
Stanford Cardinal -6 at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
North Carolina Tar Heels at Notre Dame Fighting Irish -2.5

Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Fighting Irish -8
Notre Dame Fighting Irish at USC Trojans -10

Wow, the oddsmakers are not as bullish about this season as I have been.
I'll take ND against the number vs. Stanford, Syracuse, Navy, FSU, USC today.
For those living outside Vegas, expect to see offshore numbers soon.

24 pts to FSU? Jeebus...

 

[IrishLax]

Wow. Looking at those lines and doing some rough math in my head Vegas thinks 7-5. Shocked at the Navy, USC, and Syracuse lines. Kind of shocked by the FSU line too... especially with multiple FSU reporters saying they expect it to be their toughest game.

 

[phork]

24 to FSU and 10 to USC? WTF.

 

[irishfan]

Agree with the game the OP mentioned:

24 at FSU seems high obviously.
5.5 vs. Cuse is extemely low. We're in trouble if we're not even a TD better than Cuse at a neutral site.
3 vs. Navy also at a neutral site is a slap in the face. Last year sucked, but won by 40 in 2012 and 42 in 2011.
USC favored by 10? With a new coach? Lol ok

UNC is trap game for us, but they play at Clemson and vs. VA Tech the two weeks before. I think we take them by 10+

I could be wrong, but I think I saw online that Vegas had us pegged at o/u 9.5 this year. Which obviously doesn't add up with these lines. These lines really don't make much sense at all. The Purdue and Michigan ones seem fine (Mich always a screwy game of course) but nothing else seems accurate even with the homer glasses off.

Well, I wish I lived in Vegas and had some money to blow.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

As high as the spread is on the FSU game, remember this is a team that demolished Clemson by 37 points at Clemson, and Clemson was at least as good if not better than we were last season. With the defense loosing a lot this year and learning a new scheme, it's could very well be one that gets out of hand. Not saying will, but I certainly understand the reasoning behind that spread.

 

[GATTACA!]

Navy. Wut.

 

[ACamp1900]

Honestly the most shocking is USC... Double digit dogs? Man.

 

[IrishLax]

Navy. Wut.

Really seems like free money.

 

[Andy in Sactown]

Really seems like free money.

That's what I was thinking. Better get some bets in before the money moves the lines.

 

[phork]

Really seems like free money.

Wait... Diaco did leave, right?

 

[andre784]

-24 against FSU. Where can I put some money down right now!!!!

The Golden Nugget...

Sportsbook.ag has had lines for Games of the Year in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they have lines up soon.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

-10 vs. the Condoms? show me to the vbetting window. ND wins outright.

 

[rocket66]

Wait... Diaco did leave, right?

First thing that came to my mind.

 

[Black Irish]

Honestly the most shocking is USC... Double digit dogs? Man.

Yeah, that's bunk. Is Pete Carroll coming back to coach or something? Otherwise, I don't see it.

 

[IrishLax]

Honestly, I'm legitimately pissed I was in Vegas a couple weekends ago and not after these lines came out.

Probably would've dropped a couple thousand on the Navy line. The others (FSU, Syracuse, USC) are tantalizing but that Navy line is moronic. I almost wonder if it is/was a typo.

 

[nsideirish]

We beat Navy by 4 last year...at home....

By 40 the year before. 42 the year before that. You would hope that we would take them more seriously this year after the scare in 2013. We've got a bye week before the game.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

VanGorder is going to ATTACK Navy. He knows how to beat option football. GT and the like. I have heard him talk about it.

Yea, by becoming HC and changing the offense.

If you didn't get it, that's a Georgia State joke.

[Catholics_Rule]

I have a hard time believing -24 to FSU or -10 to USC. IMO Notre Dame is probably going to be FSU toughest regular season opponent, so I'd like to see FSU other lines against opponents.

 

[NDJimmy]

I'd put $ on: -5.5 Syracuse, -2.5 NC, -3 Navy.
Also: +24 FSt, +10 USC, and +4.5 AzSt.
I'm staying away from the others.
