Liked this game a lot more when it was -14, but i think I know the reasons for the line drop and I think the reasons are wrong.
Notre dame -9.5

Nice start ! I think ND opened at 11' & as you said dropped to 9'. What do you think the reason for the drop. GL
It opened at 14'. . . . I think the Irish opponents are being rated lower than when they played and I think that the data from those games regarding Irish rushing stats and the Orangemens defensive rushing stats really favor Syracuse. The Irishs turnover margin is unsustainable and Syracuse has been unlucky in the turnover battle. The Irish are also going on the road with a new center
But.....Michigan going into that game was a much better team going into the nd gsme than the one that came out. The Irish run attack has been dismal due to no interior push which is why they are changing the Line, but the new center player well last year as a starter versus byu and held his own against Stanford.
I think golson is elite and covers up a lot of flaws. I think nd wins the to battle and is better in the red zone. Think it's an easy cover
Potential 'Look ahead spots' really seemed to be hammered this week. ND, Ole Miss, A&M, Sparty and USC all moved a decent amount off of the original number. Didn't really dig into those games too much (see other thread
) but seemed a bit of an overreaction to me.
Look ahead is a potential problem too, but Stanford not that big of a rival and ND is off a bye.
