- Analysis
- At 7:30 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Miami-Fla Hurricanes + the points over Notre Dame. Each of these teams had winning seasons a year ago. Miami was 10-3, and earned a Pop-Tarts Bowl berth, where it lost, 42-41, to Iowa State. Notre Dame, meanwhile, went 14-2, and reached the NCAA Championship game, where it fell to Ohio State, 34-23. I like the Hurricanes, as home underdogs (or PK) have gone 13-1 ATS their last 14 (and 64.1% ATS the last 42 seasons) in season openers, if they neither owned a losing record, nor had a better win percentage than their opponent in the prior season. Miami-Fla has done well as home underdogs, going 21-13 ATS, while Notre Dame is a wallet-busting 0-7 ATS as road favorites in its season openers. Additionally, the Fighting Irish fall into negative systems of mine which have records of 31-65, 61-96, and 87-123 ATS. Grab the points with Mario Cristobal's men. Good luck, as always, Al McMordie.
