January 1 | Oklahoma State | Fiesta Bowl

[irishtrooper]

ND is the favorite by 2.5 (rightly so) according to the sites I visited

 

[irishff1014]

I think we have more talent than Oklahoma State and we have a much better defense then Oklahoma State. The question is how prepared will the offense be? I am super excited to see how Freeman handles the decision making for the entire team. I would imagine he is still gonna call the plays on defense. I hope he tells Rees let’s put the points up. I hope Rees comes up with a good game plan and calls the game well.

Ok State has 9 4 star recruits from the 2018-2021 classes. ND’s talent should overwhelm them.

Weird, I read something on Action Network earlier before it was announced that said we would be a 2 point favorite.

Yeah I think I just misread it,… my bad

-2.5 dogs vs Okie St. Y’all read it correctly

No it’s only FanDuel so far that I see and we are -2.5 favorites

 

[Dale]

- I don’t think they should have any run game

- Passing Sanders can move it decently when the run game is working and he’s not pressured. Yesterday you saw when that doesn’t happen. Tay Martin is decent but a month of prep for the secondary and Foskey should feast.

- We will not be able to run it either.

- Gonna have to get it out extremely quick. Extremely. I think YAC will be massive. Gotta take care of the ball and let playmakers take care of the rest

IMO

Wonder if that line moves higher at all, -2.5 seems pretty low

My guy......

Can’t tell if that was an agreement my guy or correction my guy but yes ND -2.5 haha.

 

[Free Manera]

Why do I feel like people are arguing about the line but everyone is saying the same thing - ND -2.5 aka ND is favored by 2.5. I have not seen OKSU favored anywhere.

OKie State fans think they should win.

There are a couple of factors I see moving the line. Either the announcement that KH IS playing and, early signing day Dec 15th.

And of course, how the betting goes.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Seems very reminiscent of the ISU bowl game in 2019…….I think ND will come out hot in this game.

 

[irishtrooper]

Was thinking the same thing….. I’m happy I’m not the only one

-2.5 means ND is favored to win (giving points)
+2.5 means Ok St is favored to lose (getting points)

How would this impact the betting line?

 

[Dizzyphil]

How would this impact the betting line?

It impacted 4 games last year, and if I remember right, 5 in 2019... something about early signing that changes the line. Don't ask me, I don't work in Vegas... I just bet a lot.

Zero reason it would change a line, the commits can't play in the game.

LOL, ... I remember a girl getting pregnant changed the line of a game -3.5 points.... so.... there's that

some things in the universe that happen can change the atmosphere, excitement and detriment of a team, player and coach...

I like the matchup, but hate the start time.

Why is the game on the west coast the early start? 1 ET means an 11 o'clock kickoff in Arizona. Like...what?

Have the sugar bowl at 1, which is at least a respectable noon kickoff, and put the Fiesta Bowl on at 8. Makes no MF sense.

 

[pumpdog20]

There are a lot of 11am kickoffs in college football

They had the same goofy start time for the "Battle Frog" Fiesta Bowl vs Ohio St.

We started tailgating in the dark at 6am after being up all night at the team's hotel. Worst gameday experience ever.

 

[BobbyMac]

For anyone coming to the Valley for the game, ND will be staying at the Princess. The Princess backs up to the 4th hole on the TPC Stadium course so bring your sticks.

I thought you're supposed to use the desert to dry out. Consider that next time, ya lush

 

[Wild Bill]

Is okie State's RB done for the year?

​​​​​​No way we can go 0-3 against OSUs at the fiesta bowl, right?

I am super excited to see how Freeman handles the decision making for the entire team. I would imagine he is still gonna call the plays on defense. I hope he tells Rees let’s put the points up. I hope Rees comes up with a good game plan and calls the game well.

If anyone is looking for some big changes, I wouldn't expect them. This is not the time for a lot of changes. I suspect that MFMF will be heavily involved in prepping the D and will probably call it during the game as well. If MFMF is giving freedom to do what he wants, we might see a new wrinkle or two and a little more TB, but by and large the O should still be the same. Dance with whom you brought to the party.

0-4 when you include Oregon St

And yet MFMF will make MF sense of it.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Man, it never fails that ND gets the toughest opponent possible,… was hoping for Pitt. oh well. It’s def winnable. Let’s get going Freeman.

Ok who are you and what did you do w ACamp?
