[NCAAF] Notre Dame vs South Florida 2020 Live Free

Despite admittedly not being a huge Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan (I’ve been known to disparage Rudy in unspeakable ways), it felt fantastic to see one of the sport’s most storied programs take the field last Saturday in a 27-13 win against the Duke Blue Devils.

Against the Spread (ATS) Pick

Notre Dame got off to a slow start against an outmatched Duke squad on Saturday but eventually pulled away for an easy victory. Ian Book struggled to develop chemistry with his receivers in the early going, with the Irish’s first three drives resulting in a paltry five yards on nine plays. Book eventually got into more of a rhythm, and it helped to have Kyren Williams in the backfield. The sophomore racked up 112 yards on the ground, with two touchdowns, and caught two passes for 93 yards.

South Florida is a run-first team, and they were successful against The Citadel, gashing the Bulldogs for 302 yards. The Bulls are still trying to decide on a starting quarterback, and until they do, you’ll see a rotation of Jordan McCloud and Noah Johnson.

The Irish are great in this spot at home, and this line will continue to move in Notre Dame’s direction because they’re such a publicly-bet team. The Bulls will need to complete a few throws because the Irish are fast and will focus on shutting down the run. However, South Florida returns three starting offensive linemen this week, and I think they can slow down this game enough to keep it within the number.

PREDICTION: South Florida +26 (-110)

Over/Under Pick

The end of the Charlie Strong era in South Florida has given way to a Bulls team that likes to focus on the ground game because they don’t have a dynamic quarterback. Book didn’t quite put it all together for Notre Dame against Duke, and if he continues to rely on Williams, there should be fewer points than expected. As mentioned above, South Florida’s last five games have all gone Under.

PREDICTION: Under 52.5 (-110)
