T.M. Selection: Notre Dame - ATS
1) I like the Irish to get the upset in this game against the Texas A & M Aggies on Saturday, August 31st. I am taking the available points on offer here - 3 points - but am expecting Notre Dame to get the road win.
2) Well, truth be told, the Fighting Irish will have some early season growing pains on offense but this defense looks stacked. Notre Dame is so strong with what they have built defensively here that all the pressure will be on the Aggies at home as the fave and A & M just can't do enough on offense here.
3) Texas A & M brought back Wiegman at QB but he missed much of last season due to injury and this Aggies offense continues to struggle to find its form (against quality teams!) year after year and especially with 3 new starters on the offensive line. Irish allowed 23 points or less in 10 of 13 games last season and allowed an average of just 11.9 points in those 10 games. Aggies allowed 30 points or more in 4 of their games last season including each of the last two. Value with the points here with consideration to the better defense!
T.M. Prediction: 27-20 Notre Dame.
Line: +3.5
