How about these? Fighting the Irish?
Notre Dame capped off a strong 3-1 decide column that almost made it to an ideal 4-0. Michael Penix Jr. and the Hawks (+4) jumped up Washington early and fought blow for blow down the stretch solely to lose in time beyond regulation by six. Another loser bites the mud.
I’ve three NFL bets this weekend and two extra College football Betting on subsequent week’s playoffs. Remember, this area will not be the place for 1,000,000 picks or 5 groups. These will all the time be the video games I like essentially the most. Let’s go to work.
2024 Record: (42-41, -2.9 models)
This line is simply too excessive for me. Of course, Chicago has been a catastrophe, struggling 10 straight losses, and can seemingly end the season with 4 wins when their win complete hits 8.5 or-150. That stated, the stress is non-existent at this level and the Bears ought to be enjoying happy-go-lucky soccer. We additionally know the way necessary it’s for the group to compete towards the Packers.
PICK: Bears (+10) to lose by lower than 10 factors or win outright
I refuse to consider it an excessive amount of. Miami has one thing to play for, and New York does not. The Jets seem to have fully turned on the quarterback Aaron Rodgers and I am unable to think about there are numerous gamers in inexperienced and white who nonetheless care. Tyler Huntley it could not excite you, however I’m keen to guess the Dolphins make a foul joke on the street.
PICK: Dolphins PK
Ready for the fireworks? Sportsbooks clearly are, with Sunday evening’s complete at 56.5 O/U, which might be the best of the season. Minnesota is more healthy on either side of the ball and I actually assume Detroit’s protection is so beat up and bruised, it is making Dan Campbell gamble greater than standard. Until Sam Darnold does not flip right into a pumpkin, the Vikings ought to get the W.
PICK: The Vikings (+3) will lose by lower than 3 factors or win outright
Do the Lions want first place within the NFC greater than the Vikings?
Ohio State (-6, O/U 53.5) vs. Texas
The sacred hype of Ohio State. These two groups had been almost equal numerically three weeks in the past and now the Buckeyes are six factors higher? Sorry, I’m not right here. Maybe there’s some fact to the truth that Ryan Day and Chip Kelly have been enjoying offensive possum all season, however I’ll guess on this overreaction virtually each time. Texas can simply preserve it locked down behind its very stingy defensive entrance.
PICK: Texas (+6) will lose by lower than 6 factors or win outright
Our Lady (-1.5, O/U 47) vs. Pen State
Two down, two to lose for these of us who maintain Notre Dame title futures. Irish hatred continues to circulate from the opposition and now the narrative is that ND had been “fortunate” to beat a Georgia crew that scored solely 10 factors. Okay then. Let’s see what Penn State does towards higher competitors, and let’s additionally see what James Franklin does towards a greater crew. The observe document is definitely not robust.
PICK: Notre Dame (-1.5) wins by greater than 1.5 factors
