Sunshine Classic, Jacksonville Florida

Notre Dame vs Duke

Coverage: ESPN, ESPN 3 (Internet)

Wasnt able to find a line/spread, but from videos I have watched breaking down the matchup, it seems like it can go either way. InsideLacrosse.com guy said he could see a 9-8, 11-10 type of game.

So it will be listed as a pick with no spread and over under will be 18.5.

Good Betting and Good Luck!

Taking the over is a REALLY bad call Epitome. And I've got a lot of faith in the Irish winning this one.

Here is why ND should win:

ND held Crotty (last year's POY) to 0 goals and 1 assist in the championship even when they got him isolated on shortsticks. Duke's attackmen this year are going to seriously struggle to score... and ND has one of the best LSM in the league in Andrew Irving to go with some incredible shortstick defenders. I will be shocked if Duke score more than 7 goals.

Duke has a very athletic team and could pose problems for ND when they are on the attack... but unless their goalie is much improved our 1st and 2nd line midfield are pretty much going to torch theirs.

The big difference in this game is going to be faceoffs. If ND wins faceoffs they will win, if they do not then the game might go to Duke. ND is using a frosh to faceoff this year in Liam O'Connon... the kid has skills but he is still fresh.

0-0 at the end of the first. Told you the over was a bad call.

 

[IrishLax]

Epically bad call on that interference and delay of game. Even the announcer said it. 1-0 Duke.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I assume 18.5 was an awful over under to set? I don't really know the common # of goals scored in a game.

No, it was good and it was what the analysts were predicting. I just know a ****ton more about the players on both teams than the analysts lol.

ND's defense might be the best in the history of lacrosse this year. I say that with 100% sincerity.

I may have spoken too soon....

 

[Epitome]

Serves me right for betting a sport that i know nothing about

 

[IrishLax]

Wow... where is this scoring coming from?!? Getting dangerously close to that O/U.

 

[Veer option]

I miss all the good stuff.

 

[military_irish]

well there is the over

 

[Epitome]

WOO HOO

 

[IrishLax]

LOL omg I cannot believe I missed the O/U on a crease goal from an LSM...

Thanks Duke for refusing to play defense in the 4th quarter.

 

[Epitome]

That was horse crap

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I was off by a half point (or spot on). The hook will get you everytime, Haha. Vegas just called me to set over unders for them.

0-0 at the end of the first. Told you the over was a bad call.

Not sure which line had more of a jinx on the outcome. I think the 2nd one. Any talk feeling good about your bet during the game is always bad news.

Yeah man... learned my lesson the hard way.... I'll keep my fingers shut from now on haha.

 

[Epitome]

I think I'm going to stick to betting the sports I know. That was too dramatic for me.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Oh well. You pretty much broke even anyway. Your vbuck account looks pretty healthy and ND got the win. All in all, not bad.
