I can't believe that last spread. USC giving points to a home team that just beat Oregon on the road, USC which lost to BC? That seems like a pretty big number to put on the letdown theory.

North Carolina (+16.5) at Notre Dame, 3:30 p.m., NBC -- Notre Dame will go undefeated in the regular season

Probably true but ND won't cover 16.5 on UNC

North Carolina (+16.5) at Notre Dame, 3:30 p.m., NBC -- Notre Dame will go undefeated in the regular season

Probably true but ND won't cover 16.5 on UNC

Considering they still have @Fla ST, @ ASU, and @USC to go, that's a fairly bold prediction, Xan.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

Hard to believe Michigan is favored.

Same for Georgia, Haven't seem them to do anything to warrant being favored on the road in the SEC.

Think the dream continues for Ole Miss this week, but reality crashes Starkville.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Florida has canceled its Monday press conference. Not sure what that means, but probably not good for the Gators.

Hungover from celebrating that big offensive explosion.

 

[Songbird]

I think it means they're on to Cincinnati.

@DaveJonesUFbeat: Gainesville source has confirmed that #Gators quarterback Treon Harris is being investigated in a legal matter.

There is no way that Notre Dame gets through that schedule undefeated, and that's no knock against them. I don't know that anybody would. Their most realistic chance is to go 2-1 in those games, not embarrass themselves in the loss, win the rest, and get some help.

I can't see them covering 16.5 against NC.

 

[Songbird]

After giving up 29 and 27 in opening wins against Nobody State U, the Heels have given up 70, 50, 34 the last 3 weeks -- or 51 a game.

Notre Dame might not be Goliath this season but they'll pound the **** out of UNC.

 

[Vombatus]

Speaking of ****, what is your avatar? It looks like someone crapped a rainbow into the shape of a huge Hershey kiss. ???

 

[Songbird]

Blown-glass ornament that we sell at the gallery.

Here's a rounder one.

(We'll ship anywhere, if you're interested.)

 

[Vombatus]

Oh ok. Zoomed in on it for more detail. Neat.

I thought it was a kiss on a big white plate, but that's the street in the background.

I just think it's a trap game situation. Not so much that Notre Dame loses it, but I can see one of those 35-24-type games.

 

[Big Circus]

Chapel Hill is REALLY bad this year, though. They stand out pretty starkly as the worst team in an ACC that, charitably, might have two good teams.

No way Irish go unbeaten this year.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Oregon-UCLA is pretty much a playoff elimination game.

Also, take the over.

 

[Songbird]

They went unbeaten 2 years ago before the championship debacle.

Florida State gave up 41 to NC State, which didn't score a point at Clemson.
