Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 Let's get to Notre Dame Navy,
00:04 because this is the first game we're overseas,
00:07 we're playing in Ireland,
00:08 and this is the kickoff to it all.
00:12 And the expectations for the fighting Irish
00:14 who start this season 13th in the AP poll is,
00:18 they're kind of measured because the schedule is difficult.
00:22 They play three big boys, Ohio State, Clemson,
00:26 and the aforementioned USC.
00:28 Two of them are at home though.
00:29 For Notre Dame, if they're gonna wanna have any chance
00:32 of getting to the college football playoff,
00:33 they must avoid trip-ups.
00:36 But there is some belief in South Bend that it is possible
00:39 because they have the best quarterback in that building
00:42 since Brady Quinn was playing for Notre Dame.
00:45 Sam Hartman starts this off with a passing yardage prop
00:48 of 232 and a half,
00:50 and a passing touchdown prop of two and a half
00:53 with plus 162 juice to the over.
00:56 There is some rain expected in the forecast,
00:59 and Navy is certainly one of those teams
01:02 that is expected to bleed the clock,
01:04 as this is a big spread.
01:06 Checking in for 20 and a half on the FanDuel Sportsbook
01:09 at a total at 48 and a hook.
01:13 By the way, looking at this game too,
01:15 you would think Notre Dame is going to out-athlete Navy
01:18 and you would be correct.
01:19 Now, granted, most people don't know the secondary of Navy
01:22 and how they're gonna come back
01:23 going up against the wide receivers here,
01:25 and certainly Sam Hartman.
01:26 But I can tell you one thing,
01:27 some publications out here, Kevin,
01:29 you wanna have some fun with this
01:30 on why I think we're gonna get over 34 and a half points here
01:32 for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
01:34 Number one, one of the quarterbacks
01:36 that's listed as a starter, last name is Larry.
01:38 They could have made that name up, I don't know.
01:40 But out of 917 cornerbacks in the country rated,
01:44 I don't even know how you go that deep, he's 864.
01:47 Secondary here, talking about the safeties, Kevin.
01:50 There's a guy named Lane III
01:52 that's gonna be a starter in the secondary.
01:53 780, you'll love this, Kevin,
01:56 785 safeties that are ranked, he's 777th here, okay?
02:01 Let's move to the other safety, Williams Jr.,
02:04 917 cornerbacks, which he shifted back there
02:07 is where that nickel formation, he's 839, Kevin.
02:10 So if we're talking about cornerbacks
02:12 that are some of the worst in the country, Sam Hart,
02:16 I mean, Hartman should go out there.
02:17 And by the way, if you wanna talk about correlation,
02:19 he goes out there and throws five touchdown passes early,
02:21 watch out for a seven spot from Caleb later.
02:24 You might wanna watch this game
02:25 before you even bet Caleb Williams, Kevin.
02:27 Get excited, man, week zero is already here.
