Wolverines at Fighting Irish OddsShark Matchup Report

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Fighting Irish entered the month of November last season with 7-1 SU and ATS record with their only blemish coming in a one-point loss to Georgia that improved with age as the Bulldogs thrived throughout the season. Notre Dame was knocking on the door of a playoff spot before finishing the regular season on a 2-2 SU and 0-4 ATS slump that included a disastrous 41-8 road loss to Miami.

This program has been inconsistent under Head Coach Brian Kelly and this game could set the tone for the entire season in Notre Dame.

Home field has done wonders for the Fighting Irish in this head-to-head rivalry as Notre Dame is 6-2 SU and ATS in its last eight home games against Michigan per the OddsShark College Football Database.

Michigan Wolverines

Michigan was elite on defense in 2017 ranking third in the nation in yards per game surrendered with 269 and best in the nation in passing defense allowing only 142.7 passing yards per game. But with awful quarterback play hampering the offense, the Wolverines sputtered out down the stretch and finished the season with an 8-5 SU and 5-7-1 ATS record.

The defense will once again be excellent in 2018, so this season’s success could lay squarely on the shoulders of Ole Miss quarterback transfer Shea Patterson.

Saturday’s total is set at 47 points. The OVER is 6-1 in Notre Dame’s last seven September games.

The line on this game originally opened with Michigan as a slight road favorite at -1.5 before being bet down to Notre Dame as a small home favorite. Regardless of where the line eventually closes, this should be a highly competitive game between two teams ranked in the Top 15 in the AP Top 25 preseason poll.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
