Like nearly every year, the Notre Dame Fightin’ Irish is supposed to return to prominence this season. I’ll believe it when I see it. The Irish opened as 11½ point favorites, but that line has come down to 11 or 10 ½ despite the fact that the public is trending Notre Dame’s way at about 70%. When the public is leaning one way and the line moves opposite, the wiseguys are the likely culprit. The sharps seem to be lining their weekly college football picks up behind the Bulls.

Since the Seminoles lost a Thursday night game to the Wolf Pack, they can’t afford a loss here. But neither can Maryland. Even if they go on to beat NC State, not having the tie breaker with FSU would spell doom for the Terrapins.
