Nov 7 | Miami

[Blazers46]

Something that is pretty telling about what Vegas thinks of Miami - despite being easily the biggest lock to get in the playoff, they are only +600 to +700 to win the whole thing. Generally 4th in odds to win it all.

ND meanwhile is +460 to +500 with significantly lower odds to get in at all.

Whether it’s bc of the defensive back end or the pass blocking, Vegas does not believe is the #1 team in the country. Shit they have OSU without a QB and a loss as more likely to win the title.

Too bad the CFP doesn’t care what Vegas thinks. If they did, ND would have been a top 4 seed last year.

Miami against Pitt and Clemson who play more man ran 10 screens in both games. They popped tunnel screens for TDs in both games. Against FSU who runs more zone they only called 6, in a 2OT game at that.

If they decide to play heavy man, the tackling effort of BYU game cannot show up or they will get shredded at some point.

If they play heavy zone, it’ll be short passes like last year and the DL has to win the day.

 

[NDWarrior]

Toney may already have broken this record with a stellar day against NC, but our D can't let him have this kind of day or else we're likely not winning the game...

Luger played college football at Miami.

I know but still under these circumstances couldn’t do it. The tension is too big right now.

Even playing the game is doubtful at this point.

Miami can't play in that kind of weather! They should save us the time and save on transportation costs and carbon emissions and stay in FL and take a forfeit L.

They can use the weekend to keep guys healthy and work on rehabbing the ones that already are. After all, losing to us doesn't affect their opportunity to earn the ACC auto bid.

It doesn't no way they make this trip with that forecast. At this point we might as well pray the game even occurs.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

2016 it was 69 degrees in South Bend for that game.

2012 at Soldier Field it was 44 degrees.

I hope it snows for this game. I want those Miami players to be miserable.

 

[RudyVerse]

I don't want to be a doomer but playing this team without Mckinney and Tae really makes me feel uncomfortable. I love Jayden Sanders' game, same with Talich, but they don't seem like the type of DBs who's strength matches with Miami's which is speed and separation.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Vegas has us has a 6.5 favorite right now am I reading that right?

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Vegas isn't emotional and mad that ND lost to BYU.

 

[RudyVerse]

If we win this game I'm going to be pissed off for how pissed off I was for 3 weeks. You just can't win loving the Irish.

 

[NDPhilly]

I don’t think that 6.5 has been updated, but I still think it will be ~4 without McKinney or Tae.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I don’t think that 6.5 has been updated, but I still think it will be ~4 without McKinney or Tae.

Whatever it is I'm taking the over in this game

 

[Dale]

It’s ND -3.5, O/U 54.5. Miami +3.5 is -115 so slightly juiced closer to 4.

Dropped from 6.5 to 3.5 on FD. No one else has posted

NDs power rating isn’t really dropping a ton as much as Miami has inched closer to us. Early season Miami wasn’t really close to the top group and now they are

 

[Dale]

BYU/Utah kicking off at 10 local and LSU gets Bama at 2:30. Can’t wait for the pissy Kiffin quote that is comin

42 degF rain is worse than snow.

I don’t think you needed a manual adjustment for those two. Our pass game efficiency numbers not being elite already reflect a underwhelming secondary compared to preseason priors that had us at 7 pt favorites

 

[allenm5333]

can someone start a Miami visitor thread? And then share what 5 star is no longer visiting according to Singer lol

 

[Blazers46]

It will probably be a chilly 48 at kickoff. Field might be wet because it’s says light sprinkle, probably as low as 45. But things can change for sure.

Vegas seems to be expecting unfavorable weather with the OU

Man, Singer is really squeezing everything he can out of this Kaden Henderson situation.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Discussing weather 11 days out is so damn funny to me lol
