The Irish are favored by a lot against Northern Illinois

29 can get it done

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 1-0 after a masterful performance against the SEC’s Texas A&M Aggies last week. It was one of the biggest games of the weekend, and one of the most talked about matchups during the long offseason. It was also a game that saw a lot of money pumped into it as the Aggies were 3 point favorites at home. And… we saw how that went.

This week the Irish are back at home in South Bend and will welcome the Northern Illinois Huskies to Notre Dame Stadium. According to DraftKings, the Irish are currently 28 point favorites in the game with an over/under set at 44.5.

Notre Dame has quietly been one of the better teams in the country against the spread over the last decade. This could be a little bit of a letdown game considering what they just went through last week, but it could also be a game which sees the Irish defense pitch a shutout to go along with an Irish offense that wants to show much more than it was able to against the Aggies.

Gamble resposibly.
