College Football Offseason Update | Part 1 | Notre Dame podcast segment
- Notre Dame under 11.5 wins — market was noted around -200 on the under; over ranged +170 to +180. Duck also mentioned a parlay angle: Notre Dame under 11.5 + Notre Dame to make the Playoff for -119.
- Notre Dame’s 11.5 win total is being priced like an elite team, but Duck flagged BYU at Provo as a tough road spot and said the Irish are not a must-lay at this number.

- Notre Dame: Schedule should make them favored in every game; concern is whether they can replace Jeremiyah Love and avoid the kind of flat losses Marcus Freeman’s teams have had before. Duck likes the under + playoff parlay as a cleaner way to play the market.
- Navy: Duck trusts the continuity, QB Braxton Woodson, and the schedule setup. He said the key is surviving the Notre Dame game by less than three touchdowns and beating UTSA.
