Florida State at Notre Dame
(NCAAF) Seminoles (FSU) vs. Fighting Irish (ND),
Point Spread: -25.50 | -114.00 Fighting Irish (ND) (Home)
Result: Win
We're running out of weeks to go against Florida State and don't want to miss any chances! The worst Noles team since Darrell Mudra was in charge 50 years ago is at 1-8; in a word, they're awful, swimming alongside the likes of Kent State and Air Force at the bottom of FBS offensive stats. Almost every meaningful stat category (scoring, total offense, rushing) sees FSU in last or next-to-last nationally. The malaise goes far beyond the injury to DJU, who was proving a poor fit at QB anyway. Backup QBs Brock Glenn and frosh Luke Kromenhoek have looked totally lost. A robust, 8th-ranked Notre Dame defense is going to be disappointed if it doesn't pitch a shutout in South Bend, and gets big NBC instead of the Peacock to remind the Selection Committee of their playoff credentials. And if a stat category tells the story of these teams, it's TO margin, where the Irish are +10 and the Noles at -12! Marcus Freeman also on a 15-5-1 spread uptick for ND since last season.
