Love this game between two teams who impressed in Week 1. I think the Wolverines were the more impressive of the two beating a better team (UConn vs Purdue) and flashing an offense reminiscent of vintage West Virginia. The spread on this opened at ND -6 but now it is down to -4. Wish I had played Michigan when it opened and love the SU upset potential here.

Prediction: Michigan 28 – Notre Dame 27 – Bet Now

Odds: Michigan: +3.5 – Notre Dame: -3.5 – Over/Under: 53
