Officially SC week!!

LFG!

 

[yankeehater]

SC Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DillonHall]

USC has been much better at home than on the road this year with wins over Utah St Wisconsin, Rutgers and Nebraska and the OT loss to Penn St. Motivation is the big question mark here and its anyone's guess how fired up they will be.

We'll be locked in. You can count on that.

This is their Super Bowl, kinda like our Clemson 2022. I expect USC to be ready

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Their quarterback came alive in the fourth quarter and was starting to sling it. Time to bring him back to earth.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I’m glad not a night game

 

[Irish#1]

This team is dialed in . They will roll USC.

 

[CanadalovesND]

I never know what to feel whenever ND plays USC. In South Bend... I'm fairly more confident.

ND has several advantages in this game. But USC still has speed and athleticism both offensively and defensively.

An un-prepared ND team wins by a touchdown or so. If they handle their shit, it's an easy win. -21 ND is my spread.

BEAT USC!!! Fuck em good!

Will be coaching in the state semis at the same time…. Could be hell for me

That’s awesome. Kick ass, coach. I’ll drink extra hard during the game for ya

 

[rtrn2glory]

Based on the matchup predictors I've seen, I'm going to say a 9.5 to 10.5 spread

 

[NDMD]

I see -7 on the DK app.

Sounds about right. Road game, rivalry game, USC has played everyone close. Think ND covers with ease if USC sticks with the back up QB

This isnt the BK teams of old & USC isnt a MAC team. ND vs the spread easy

Based on the matchup predictors I've seen, I'm going to say a 9.5 to 10.5 spread

Open
Notre Dame	-3.5-110	N/A	-3.5-110	-6.5-110	-4-110	-3.5-110	-6.5-110	-0.5-114	-0.5-113
USC	+3.5-110	N/A	+3.5-110	+6.5-110	+4-110	+3.5-110	+6.5-110	+0.5-109	+0.5

I think someone already posted this..but here are the current lines... -6.5 on DraftKings.
This is a dangerous team, on the road...I think this game is going to be a dogfight.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I'm surprised it's that low TBH.... First time in awhile my initial reaction is bet the house on the Irish

 

[irishff1014]

There’s a lot on the line for us and they are bowl eligible at 6-5 but they would probably not want it that close.

Give Freeman credit though he has these guys focused.

 

[SDIrishFan]

Printer said ND has only covered at USC six times since the Holtz era

 

[sixstar]

It'll be 7 one week from today.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

SC have been drawing very sparse crowds this year have they not?

I think ND is going to have a large contingent there if I had to guess. The team will play well and they should come away with a victory. Might not be a stomping like they've been giving out of the last two months but they'll get it done. This team is very locked in.

The NYC to LA travel in less than one week's time is somewhat of a concern, but that's actually become normal travel for conference games now in this era we're in. Have to play through it.

 

[IrishTusker]

Isn't that out of 13/14 games? So we've covered just under half the time? That doesn't seem very significant or bad.

 

[IrishLax]

They have played 8 one score games. Somehow, nearly every contest they're in is some sort of nailbiter. I expect this one to be no different.

Except we're not playing down to our competition this year. NIU aside of course...

I don’t think this can be overstated.

I belive he said 16 games.

 

[ulukinatme]

Almost forgot, it's tradition to post this each year. It's always been here when we've beaten USC

 

[NDPhilly]

Need to impose Angeli’s face on Tony

 

[yankeehater]

It'll be 7 one week from today.

I saw on one site it already moved to 7.5. This sites computer model predicted 44-26 ND, so their recommendation was ND given the points.

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I'd be pretty suprised if USC puts up more than 20 points. It would take a few turnovers for ND to not put up 20+ points. That line is suspicious though.

 

[Irish du Nord]

Need to impose Angeli’s face on Tony

Or Golden, another Jersey guy

 

[Domer Dude]

Need to bring our A game. USC is 25 points away from being undefeated.

 

[Irishokie]

Need to bring our A game. USC is 25 points away from being undefeated.

48 points away from being undefeated come Saturday night. I can’t wait for the prediction thread. ☘️
