ND line down to -3.5

The sharps are loading up on the Horns! Smart fellas.

Definitely some "good signs" for the Horns in the betting

The line opened at ND -6.0 (on most sites), and according to this site the number of bets placed is actually towards ND (53%)

That means that the bets that are being placed on Texas are much larger than the bets that are being placed on ND
(typically a sign that the smart money is taking Texas and the points)

It's early, but this is the betting trend that you want to see if you're a Horns fan

Check out last year's line. Opened in South Bend at -10.5
This year opened in Austin at -10

Actually opened giving Texas better chance last year (3 points homefield on road)

Last year it slowly came down, then went back up. This year it has started to go down as well. Money will come in & force it back up a little.

So it is almost identified to last year. How did that go again?

I didnt realize that everything this season is dictated by last year in any way shape or form.... also didnt realize that losing as much production and starts as you did doesnt hurt ND, just the rest of the world.... NEWS FLASH - this isnt last year and it isnt the game in South Bend.

You idiots are walking in to DKR, in the 1st week of the season, brutal heat and humidity, a young and hungry team looking for redemption at home and over 105K LOUD screaming drunk fans intent on giving you guys hell...

Make no mistake about it, this is a war but you guys act ike it is a walk in the park... Gonna be fun wathing Texas punch ND right inthe mouth to start things off and watch your team fold. And fwiw - the line is going the way it is bc more ppl are inclined to believe this game will go differently than YOU seem to think it will...

But play dumb and act ignorant while explaining why reality etc only applies to teams NOT named ND... come September it will be fun seeing you guys fade out of here and not coming back.... And when the final horn sounds, and Texas sits victorious by the score of 38-23, I intend to be at DKR - ON THE SIDELINES just so I can bottle and taste the domer tears........ may even make a GIF of it and post it here and on the Domer site every day simply bc those tears would be most refreshing.

Maybe one day you will understand double standards only hold up for so long before life comes along to make you eat them. When that happens to you in Austin this year, I will hook you up with some great salsa to make it go down easier though. ;)
 
Not sure why you're so sensative to a fact based discussion?

Something get pointed out that upset you, but that you're unable to refute??


You mean like how you lose all the starters and production you did and it will be fine, but everyone else is going to be killed by lack of experience etc.... or that you try to downplay anything Texas, but pimp similar stuff for ND? How about the fact that you startedoff SEMI ool and have progressively turned in to a bigger and bigger dick on a daily basis.... You arent telling us facts you are telling us your OPINION of what will happen.... maybe you should learn the difference... and for the last time - LAST YEAR DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING in terms of this game this year.... 2 different teams, different schemes different players, different CONFIDENCE level by coaches and players going in.... you forget all that crap bc you are just so damn green and gold and up each others butts....but tell me more of this factual stuff you tell us WILL happen in the future and then kindly show me your time machine, direct hotline to God/Aliens and a dated and time stamped pic of you at the game in the future with a sign help up saying "I told you ... would happen".... until you post ANY of those things I, much like everyone who is NOT a domer fan, will go on thinking you are an idiot troll that tried real hard to hide his true colors but just couldnt keep it together till the season..... oh and we will all think you are full of shit with your "factual" arguments you always seem to use...

And for the love of God - stop saying bc last year it will be this way this year.... if that were true then Harvard/Yale etc would be CFB kings and NOBODY would have ever won anything aside from them.

Truth is we know nothing. Spring game didn't really tell us anything. We had some injuries so there were 2's playing with the 1's, 3's playing with 2's, and so on. The offense was vanilla, the defense didn't really stunt all that much. The other thing is that none of us have access to the coaches film so its really hard to evaluate who did what. Trust me a wide, tight endzone stack allows you to see everything and truly evaluate who played well. We need to wait for clob's report during the last week of two a days. Pretty sure it will be better than last year but I wouldn't get your hopes up. This team is still a year away.

It does mean something.

1. Texas players haven't forgotten and will be coming into this game like rabid wolves.

2. Notre Dame will be coming in thinking all they have to do is show up and they will win.

There is going to be a rude awakening for one fan base.
 
In reality Nd is probably 14-21 points better than Texas. Does that mean Texas doesn't have a legitimate chance? No but I would be shocked if they pulled it off.

Things like "over 50% of the players on the field also played in the game last year" also have a bit of an affect.

There is a reason that after a team beats another team by a large margin, they're more likely to win the next year as well

Upsets the follow year do occur, but they're less common.

Coming from a sooner when nd wasn't a playoff team last year and won't be again this year. We still have scoreboard on you and will have it again this year and your tweaking diva qb.

It's clear that it doesn't take a playoff team to beat Texas...so why would that be relevant?

And how do you know ND won't be one?

ND was very close last year
 
You're entitled to your opinion but not your own "facts". And your passive aggressive trolling is patently obvious

Who ND returns, how many starters ND returns/adds, what they've produced, etc.

Those are undebateable facts, not opinions.

The fact that you think that fact based discussion of football is trolling...should tell you all you need to know.

That's never a good sign

Because they won't be FACT. Oh the famous saying "we were close". Just like 2013? And why are you talking for a sooner? Is your true colors coming out? They can embarrass themselves without talking they don't need your help sunshine.

Maybe your version of "facts" is better suited to your own board. That's an opinion. There are Notre Dame fanboy boards. That's a fact. You've been an ass since you've been posting and your agenda is frankly, played out.
 
Robo why are your responses so child like? Smh. I don't believe I insulted Texas, I just feel Nd will win. Guess what ? So does the rest of the country. Prove us wrong and pull off the upset

I get that you don't like the facts I'm posting, but these aren't versions of facts, takes on facts, or debatable in any way

They're just FACTS

This is who is on the team (no up for debate) and what they've done in the past (not up for debate)

Sorry buddy

Again it begs the question why you seek validation on OB and get pissy when your team isn't fellated here. ND boards are into that kind of thing. Why are you here since Texas might as well not show up?
 
What's the general consensus from Texas fans about this game? Seriously. Do you guys feel you will be the better team this year? At least who looks better on paper ?

I'll take ND on paper, Texas is an unknown and you cant look at previous record to predict this team... True fish QB is a wild card for any team, the weapons are in place at receiver and RB. The defense will be better in coverage and across the middle but the line is a question mark at the point of push back and getting to the opposing teams QB. I think they will be pretty salty.

I can respect those responses. Thank you. I honestly don't know what Nd brings back???

10 starters graduated and 7 were in the first 103 picks of the NFL draft. 2 in the first round, 2 in the second, 2 in the third. Replacing: LT, C, 2 WRs, RB, 2 LBs, DT, CB, and a S.

They did have a lot of injuries. There at least 6 guys that were expected to contribute last year that went down early in the season. I have no idea what positions other than the TE we lost out on to them.
