Guessing opening line for Tech ND

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.
 
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.)
 
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.
 
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.

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.
