Sept 30 | Duke

[NormND_44]

I rarely disagree with Lax but I do here. I think Sampson has a similar prediction to you, Lax. I’m thinking Notre Dame 31 - 17 a la UNC 2020. Fast start. O-Line rolls, defense plays well.

 

[Free Manera]

I'm the total opposite. I think duke jumps on ND early and then ND battles back to (hopefully) win close. Got Duke +6.5

Fade me bro.

 

[IRISHMAN]

ND - 30
Duke - 17

i think this game is close but ND pulls away in the second half.

 

[Terry Jillery]

Best chance at the playoffs is to play 10 guys on defense all season and go 11-1. That will be a wow factor for the committee.

I'm usually with you, but I think you're off on this one. No longer such a thing as a trap game. Every single game here on out is a must-win if they have any chance of making CFP. I think this stopped being a trap game the moment OSU crossed the goal line at the end of the game on Saturday.

Possibly even before that when they beat Clemson by two scores

The boys are going to make you wish you hadn't taken Duke and the points.

Everyone is picking Duke. I sure hope these fellas are ready.

Shut it down, we’ve got the post of the year folks!

 

[arndtjc]

I thought I was a college football sicko but man I can’t believe some you actually bet on these ND games. I’m already in too deep emotionally, if they lose the game AND I lost money, I’d end up on the fucking news.

Who's picking Duke? (to win) Most of what I see is ND close. Personally I think ND... not that close.

I see a lot of people picking Duke to cover

Do we know what our foot print will be inside the stadium? Will we travel well?

Walking around campus today there was plenty of ND gear. But campus is buzzing, gonna be an incredible atmosphere

Yeah the 10 diehard Duke football fans are going to be out of control

Lol wonder if they slept outside the stadium as the Duke basketball fans do for basketball. Ready for ND to throttle Duke tomorrow. Very eager to see how our team comes out after Sat.

I know Clemson is closer but if I recall they took over the stadium.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Duke's dead men walking.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Just played really good course in NC, shot 73, I’m going to be bullish… nd dominates and is up over 20 in the fourth quarter for over 14 point win

 

[Wild Bill]

Got a feeling this thread is gonna get real ugly tomorrow night.

Any reason why?

There’s some who hedge their bets by betting on the opponent so if ND gets beat, they can at least collect some money & tell all their ND hating friends & colleagues that they bet against ND. Problem is like last week when someone picks the opponent (who is favored) and they win but don’t cover. So that’s why I quit doing it.

In the Davie era, I would load up on teams like Tennessee to cover easily and they did. I don’t need that stress at my age now.

Me too.... for Duke.

 

[IrishLax]

I'm on record pessimistic about tomorrow but no matter what way you slice it the next three games it's going to be tough to win all three:
1. Ranked Duke team at night, college game day
2. Likely undefeated Louisville on the road
3. Heisman winning QB and top 10 USC game at home

If ND makes it through those three unscathed they are going to win out.
