Irish Win Convincingly At Home
This is not an “overthinking” line on college football sportsbooks. Notre Dame should have a convincing win against the Aggies at home here, and it stems from Marcel Reed being under center on the other side.
Not to knock Reed at all, as he’s had a phenomenal start to the season with 509 passing yards and seven passing touchdowns. However, he has struggled on the road in big games previously. Last season, as the starter, Reed went just 1-2 in three road games outright as well as against the spread.
Also, Notre Dame was one of the best teams playing at home last season, at a 6-1 record overall and 4-2 record against the spread, with a massive 21.7 winning margin and +2.1 cover margin against the spread.
The Irish are also going into this one having played a now top-5 Miami team in what was an extremely close loss at 27-24.
All said, take advantage of the Irish at home here against an unproven Aggies team this season.
