College Saturday’s free play comes in the North Carolina vs Notre Dame contest. Notre Dame has knifed through the early part of their schedule and shot up the BCS rankings. They’ll still need to do their part in blitzing through the rest of their schedule and hoping other teams from power conferences don’t garner enough support for the 3rd and 4th playoff spots.

They’ve done a great job in defeating Syracuse and coming from behind against a lower performing Stanford team.

Over the years this team has captured sports bettors eyes by playing down to competition a few Saturday’s a season.

At home today with a 17 point line bodes the perfect time for yet another Notre Dame-like October performance.

North Carolina is definitely in a transition with their football program after being on the uphill climb back towards a solid program.

Their inability to cover a spread over the last month leaves little support on their side. Go against the grain today with North Carolina plus 17. Look for Notre Dame to have a bit of a hangover after their fantastic come from behind win against Stanford, and for North Carolina to play loose after already losing two ACC games considerably.
