Let's make this clear, I'm not a Notre Dame fan but have bet against them throughout this past 2012 CFB Season, especially when they played at OU & USC without showing any fear of playing key games on the road, they proved a lot, went undefeated and I'm now under the assumption, based on many stats as well (primarily on defense), that they can & will hang with the big boys tonight with nothing to lose and a lot to prove to a nation of non-believers, like myself all season. This game has at least indications of keeping the score within 10 points, if not being prepared to take an early lead and possibly pull off the upset. I'm sold on all of Alabama's Offensive & Defensive capabilities, but this is what you call true value when you're getting 10 points on an team with a chip on their shoulder. I'm adding 1 unit on the Notre Dame ML and Game Total.
*Notre Dame - ML +260
*Game Total Under 41 (-115)
Game Score Prediction: 23-16 Notre Dame
This will probably be the 1-time I'm suckered into taking ND, but the more I review this matchup, I can't reason otherwise. The ND Money Line might be a stretch, but let's see how things play out on the field tonight. Good Luck with your picks Everyone!
