The Miami (OH) RedHawks travel to South Bend, IN, to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this Saturday at 3:30 PM EST on NBC.
The RedHawks’ start to the season has been brutal. Finding the endzone has not been easy for Miami (OH); they have only scored two touchdowns so far. Despite their lack of offensive prowess, the games stayed close due to great play on the defensive end. Yet, they remain winless.
Notre Dame’s playoff hopes were all but crushed when they suffered a nightmare defeat at home to Northern Illinois. However, the Fighting Irish overcame the early season setback with a massive 66-7 win over Purdue.
With another impressive victory this weekend, the Fighting Irish could propel themselves back into the College Football Playoff conversation.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is laying the points with Notre Dame
“Backing a team off a massive blowout win always feels like trouble waiting to happen.
You’d have to imagine there is a negative regression set to happen. Running to the window to bet on Notre Dame -27.5 is no different. However, I think you must, at the very least, consider laying the points with Notre Dame.
The Brett Gabbert-led RedHawks have struggled to move the ball down the field. Miami (OH) is 72nd in offensive success rate and 128th in points per Eckel. It’s hard to imagine that they have success moving the ball against a stout Notre Dame defensive line.
You can consider backing the Miami (OH) team total under if the number is too big. They might not find the endzone in this one.”
