Guessing opening line for Tech ND

[TampaBayJacket]

Without the ND brandname influence on points spreads I would call this a pickem game at ND. The betting public, however, will force the line to open at ND -3.5.

Anyone who thinks we are not favored is insane

Gt -2

From AJC:

That said, Jay Kornegay, the chief oddsmaker at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino SuperBook, estimated late Saturday night that Notre Dame would open as a 4.5-point favorite. (Kornegay adjusted his estimate from 6.5 after learning of the Zaire injury.)

Gt -2

From AJC:

That says ND -4.5?

Gotta remember that with a team like ND, Vegas sees money making opportunities when going up against a non-brand name team like GT.

My guess is their selected line is something with slight ND favorite which for the causal gambler seems like easy money for ND at home, but their true predictor has us by a TD or so.

ND -2.5. Not saying I agree but that's my guess.

ESPN says that Notre Dame has a 67% chance of winning, so maybe -6.5 is conservative.

Can't wait to see where it actually opens. The guesses here vary all the way from GT -6.5 to ND -6.5.

Is their backup any good? Didn't look world beating from the plays I saw. Not sure how anybody could think we aren't the favorite here. We were the better team before Zaire went down and we're clearly better now.

With ND higher ranked team at home they are going to be the favorite. ND -6

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

What time do the odds usually get released?

 

[jacket1515]

Same as last time we played there. ND -1.

 

[Member 6626]

Open at -4.5. Will move to -1 by kickoff.

Whether good or not, we have history of making them look Heisman worthy.

Sagarin Predictor is actually very high on GT, with GT at #8 and ND at #9. GT is about 1 point ahead of ND for neutral field, so ND -2 would be most likely without QB injury. Pick 'em, maybe?, with the QB injury.
