ND is beatable but it will be a step up in weight class from Indiana both in terms of talent and the stadium environment. Again, we have to play tough, smart football for 4 quarters. Check the lost-your-mind-numbing penalties and mistakes at the door!

The storylines are endless for the game. Kelly. Freeman. Denbrock. Mickens. Young, Jr. CFP Cinderella. P5 vs G5. B12 new additions. [Insert others].

Of course we have to fix this first half funk we've experienced every game... but we definitely have a great chance to catch ND flat next week.

ND now thinks they blew out Wisky but the reality is that for three quarters it was 10-10 caveman football before the return-fest in the fourth.

ND -10

No chance. -3.5 at most

I had the under in a poll I'm in. Was golfing, looked at score 10-10 and said to my buddy, got this one wrapped up...DOH

ESPN Gameday? Other choices...GA/Arkansas, Bama/Ole Miss. I think they did ND today so back to back not likely I guess.

Wasn't GameDay at the Notre Dame game today?

It was at Chicago Soldier Field today so I don't know if that would necessarily rule out South Bend next Saturday. Our game will be one that features two top 10 [potential] teams. Then again, we're just a bunch of misfits in the league of misfit teams.

My guess is they do Georgia Arkansas. 2 vs 7

ND fans are convinced that ND is terrible this year. The game against Wisconsin didn't change their mind: Wisconsin was winning with 14 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

What is it about Brian Kelly bringing in backup QB's and they perform pretty well. I was thinking about this this morning. He had quite the history when he was at UC, and appears to have done it again.

We are better than the Notre Dame team I watched on Saturday

Bearcats open as a 2 point favorite.

That's pretty damn shocking. I was definitely expecting Notre Dame as a 3-4 point favorite in SB.

Nah...Vegas is smarter than the public for a reason. If Cincinnati was getting 4 points they'd be getting leveraged in about 10 minutes lol.

Would be the biggest win in Cincinnati sports in the last 30 years, which means of course it ain’t happening. Take the Irish and the points.

If Billy got +2 for every negative comment he'd have infinite rep.

Oh, I'm not discounting Vegas - I was just expecting something different. One of the only smart things I do is rarely bet. You can see why.
