With the Notre Dame football game on deck for Sunday night, it's one of the last games of Week 1. That, of course, means it's also one of the previous games bettors can put money on. The question, of course, is just where people should put their money. While I would never suggest how people should gamble, I can tell you what will happen.
The Irish come into the Miami game relatively healthy. There are a few tight ends and a few offensive linemen who will miss the game, but so far, there haven't been any surprises. That's good news for a team that started the week as a slight favorite. That line hasn't moved much since last Sunday.
Notre Dame football vs Miami final odds
While the odds could move a little bit if a player suddenly turns up hurt, it appears the final line from FanDuel Sportsbook will sit right where it was 7 days ago. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish enter the game against Miami on Sunday night as 2.5-point favorites.
Additionally, the Blue and Gold's moneyline is sitting at -140, and the over and under sits at 50.5 for the game.
Prediction for Notre Dame vs Miami Hurricanes
The Notre Dame football team has to start the season off with a win, and if it does, the road to the playoffs could be laid out in front of them. There's been a lot of talk about how the heat and atmosphere will put the Blue and Gold off their game. However, this team is mentally tough, they showed that last year at Texas A&M.
