Of the 29 posters who correctly predicted that ND 46-52, 10 of them are off to a perfect 2-0 start this year. We'll see if any of them can make it 3-3. Screenshot:

Voted low because I think the weather with these two offenses will slow the game down and make it ugly. ND-31, MSU-10.

31-10. Weather and MSU is gonna “try” to eat clock. I’d prefer to be wrong and Shuler put BTA again and then we put up 50 on em.

Irish 45-13. I equate MSU with Wisconsin and we ended up smashing Wisconsin. I think that if we don’t put the ball on the ground then the outcome will be similar to Wisky.

BTW, when are you going to announce that I’m in the lead?

Fitz doesn't like ND, he's playing up the longtime rival card and is going to try and keep this as close as possible. We pull away 2nd half like we have, but not without some teeth gnashing. 28ish point victory.

With heavy rain forecasted, I think it'll be more low scoring, 24-7 ND.

If there's no heavy rain, 45-17 ND.

Current hourly forecast shows just 1 hour of rain fwiw during the game. It probably will rain but there’s gonna be plenty of dry periods with how scattered they’re forecasting.

It was great to see Greathouse and Gilbert both more heavily involved in the passing attack last weekend to complement Faison's fast start, and both TEs now have a TD on the szn. Hope Carr can keep spreading the ball around to create a balanced and lethal passing attack.

If Sparty sells out to try and stop the passing game with lighter boxes, this could be the week where we see the running game eclipse 200 yards. If they don't, I can't see their secondary slowing down Carr. Sparty has another very good RB in Cam Edwards, but ND's run D has been elite, as we expected. Unless Milivojevic has the game of his life, I really can't see MSU scoring much, if at all.

ND 34 - MSU 10

I think Sparty will struggle on offense and with the weather I think they stay under 10. I'd like to think that Freeman wants this game very badly as an old rivalry and a team he used to play against in college, plus the Max Bullough connection. 45-9

I just don’t see a cover in 30 points in the rain but I’m too afraid to bet against ND because their defense is filled with demons.

Agreed. I'd love to blow Sparty out by like 35 but I just don't see it happening. I'd be very glad to be wrong again like I was last week!

ND 44, Sparty 6 - no TDs for you beatch. Defensive score for the good guys holding them under 100 yards passing. 4TDs but three FGs on stalled drives has us frustrated with offense for no good reason.

Guessed ND 41-10 (31 point margin) against Wisconsin and 55-10 (45 point margin) against Rice. I'll guess 38 point margin here and say 45-7.

ND 48 - MSU 9. We do not turn the ball over on our side of the field and defense holds them to 3 FG's. 3-0 and on to the Boilermakers!!

Just seen the weather prediction... too late to change my prediction on the poll? We win but not sure we will get the cover on this one.
