Opt-outs on both of the offenses should keep this game under the total of 40. Notre Dame will be without their starting QB, nearly their entire O-Line including future 1st round NFL LT Joe Alt, their best RB Estime and a couple WRs. Meanwhile, Oregon State will be starting their third string QB. I feel even better about the 1st Half and played under 22 -133 last night. That is my top play. At my book you can still get it at under 21 -131.
I also played Notre Dame -4 -128 following the line drop earlier today. ND only has a couple opt-outs on its defense which was the strength of its team this year. The only area that could possibly be exploited today is its secondary, but against OSU’s 3rd string QB I don’t see that happening. Unanimous All-American and Bronco Nagurski Award winning safety Xavier Watts will be playing back there to help make sure OSU won’t be able to capitalize in that area.
These bowl games are very difficult to predict this year given the transfer portal and NFL opt-outs, but I feel confident in these two plays. At worst, I see a split.
Fwiw I also played a 3-team RR x2 with OSU vs. ND under 41-129, ND ML -214 and Missouri +7-146 vs. Ohio State later tonight.
Good luck to all!
