Didn't Navy give up 59 to Delaware, at home? How the hell are you all forecasting 'pick' at ND?
You remember the public is betting these games as well, no? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

All I'm going to say is - we will find out if it is in any way possible for Notre Dame's offense to move the ball. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
P.S. Delaware might be better than ND. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I thought this was the 'forecast the lines' thread, not the team X is better than Team Y thread! ND beat UCLA, Navy gave up 59 to Delaware at home, of course ND will be favored by 3+ at home, this is a public market we're talking about...

I guess I'm just not very good at thinking like Joe Public. Notre Dame is 1-7, none of the losses have been the least bit competitive, and they have been on nat'l tv constantly - how they can be that public is beyond me, although I guess I just don't know enough irrational ND fans. Same thing with USC - they haven't done anything lately (except against aforementioned awful ND) and they're still getting respect like the Leinart/Bush teams of old.
I also figured plenty of Joe Publics might not even be aware that Navy played yesterday.
FWIW I usually project my own "correct" line in these threads, without taking much into consideration what the actual opener will be, although I figure they should typically be pretty close (and they usually are). I do not waste any time trying to understand the thought processes of people who love betting on 1-7 teams that can't move the ball against anyone. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
