00:03I know Notre Dame obviously comes in this game one and one.

00:05If we see the graphic here that's going to be posted, Notre Dame is a favorite.

00:08They're supposed to be a favorite, but the look ahead lines show 17s, 16 and a half.

00:13They plop to below 10 now minus nine and a half and a total of 45 and a half.

00:18Like the way most of our handicapping minds work is we're trying to find the team that's

00:21like buy low and sell high at this point.

00:24Notre Dame might not be lower at any time over the next 10 years after loss to NIU.

00:29Is there a chance that you're buying back on them this weekend going up against Purdue

00:33or was that loss last week indicative of what's to expect from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish?

00:37No, I think it could be a bounce back spot, but it is a tricky line, right?

00:41It opened up at like 11 and a half, 12.

00:44Now we're seeing nine and a half.

00:45Stani, they've won eight straight in the series against Purdue.

00:49The last time Purdue beat Notre Dame was back in 2007.

00:53The last time they played in regards to this matchup was back in 2021.

00:57Here's the thing.

00:58Hudson Card, the quarterback for Purdue, threw four touchdowns, completed 70, I believe 90%

01:04of his passes, 24 or 25 in regards to the beat down of Indiana State.

01:09And they get basically 12 days of preparation.

01:12They only played on August 31st.

01:14So it's like a buy right after the first game of the regular season, which is ridiculous

01:19if you think about it.

01:20So the extra prep is why I think you're seeing the line come down in favor of the Boilermakers

01:25and they're typically a live dog.

01:28But if I'm gonna bet this game, I probably would take Notre Dame in a bounce back spot,

01:33but I don't love it, Donny.

01:34I'm not betting this game in any capacity.

01:36I would probably go Notre Dame and I would take a shot on over 45 and a half.
