ND has been average against average competition now they have a real game against a team with better athletes.  ND is 1-4 ATS so far at home, I don't like trends but that says a ton to me and USC has had their annual loss to a lolwy Pac 10 team an now have to make another statement against another overrated opponent. 
Take USC and give whatever, they have more speed and depth and will control this game from beginning to end. 
 
Good luck to all

should be a real interesting game this year.  Nobody can doubt the Irish offensive talent and their grit and determination (several close games), but USC is strong for sure.  I doubt I am playing this, but it will be fun to watch

I like USC Trojans in this spot. They are going to smash the Irish men in their own home stadium. The reason why is the Irish men paper thin defense which has giving up alot of points these last few weeks. USC has a decent offense and a very great defense. That defense alone always keeps them in games. I look for USC to blew the Irish men out this game. The reason why is the USC Trojans defense have not allowed alot of points scored on them all year.  Also this is going to be the best defense that the Irish men offense have seen all year and it will give Mr. Clausen alot of problems. USC is going to exposed the Irish men for what they are truly which is very overrated. This is going to be one of my big plays of the week. Good luck to all.

Give me ND all day with DD spread.  USC is not that explosive on offense this year.  They are getting a reality check by putting a Freshman QB.  Close game.  Last minute kind of game.

Both teams terrible ATS this year.  USC 2-3 and ND 1-4.  They have a common game with Wash - USC lost on road and ND won in OT at home.  Not sure how much that means.  if anything.  USC is the better team but they are hard to predict on the road.  ND seems to do just enough to win.  Both teams coming off a bye week so they had enough time to prepare.  Two good coaches - should be a good ball game.  I think 12 points is too much.  USC should win but not by a lot.
 
Take ND with 12 points (maybe wait to see if it moves to 13)
 
USC 22 - ND 17

line moving away from ND backers...I suckered in at plus 11...I know ND has not done anything against USC the last couple of years, but USC defense will have its hands full against the irish offense I believe...

I was looking for Irish's post but don't see it.....I suspect when he saw ND getting 10 at home he wet his pants.....
 
The team and the crowd will be looking for blood....Don't think Trojans can keep up offensively....
 
This will be a fun one to watch.....I just wanna watch the team try to hoist Weis up on their shoulders after the game....

Line is moving down to 10 pts. I am waiting till it goes down to 9 then I will lock it in. USC should be able to win by double digits. BOL

I respect joewashington's, opinion but its hard, real effin hard to bet against pete carrol coming off of a bye....I know that ND is as well, but it seems like no one gameplans better for big games esp with extra time than carrol.
 
ND has not seen a defense like this one, key will be how healthy is taylor mays in the middle to break up the ND deep balls.
 
Leaning at USC halftime for sure
and maybe smaller play on the game

Sorry the reason for the half play, is that alot of times SC gets out of the gates fast, but lets the opponents back in at the end.  I know this wanst the case with OSU this year, but see Penn St last year, Fresno St 3yrs ago and so on and so on

Mush....respect your opinion as well.....I go back to the common opponent, Washington....For the first time in a decade ND believes they can win this game....Or maybe I should say that ND believes that Trojans are beatable....Clausen actually being mentioned as Heisman candidate.....ND offense could logically be considered as "potent".....Then they're playing at home.....It'll be absolutely crazy with that f_ckin leprachan running up and down the sidelines.....

Manti Teo will be a player to watch now and in the future.  Best talent in the state and we couldn't keep him.

I locked in USC  -10 before this line reversed.  ND has a terrible defense, and the offense has been putting up points against weak defenses.  USC isn't the TD machine they have been in the past but should cruise to a 2 TD+ win.  USC is rested coming off a bye and needs an impressive win to impress the voters with that bad loss on their resume.  I like USC in something like a 31-17 game.  GL to all.

Charlies Weis can't coach a big game. He's a big lump of lard. ND hasn't played anyone of value. USCs DEF is going to make Claussen's life hell on Saturday. USC is well coached and their DEF has been stellar. This line should be -12 or -13.

I'm gonna take USC minus points...I'll wait closer to Saturday to lock in my wager. Best of Luck!

Notre Dame ATS this year sucks!!! they are finally getting points Im bewildered here, but since ND lost me soooooo much money this year I'll have to go with the safe bet here and go with USC. 
I think they should win by at least 2 TDs here.

Vegas puts the O/U line at 50.....They must be planning on somebody scoring some points....And SC hasen't exactly been prolific....Granted they're playing the ND D......
 
On second glance I think I'll ride the ND crowd frenzy in the first half and take ND + 5 or 6 in the half.....hoping they jump out and score the first TD.....

The best player on that field might be Golden Tate. He's a gamebreaker. Always to consider when dealing with double digit spreads. NDame Son!

people will always bet ND, no matter what line, that is why it's only ten, this should be more like 13.5.  usc easily covers 10

Notre Dame got lucky this week.  They made the top 25!  Of course, 8 other teams ahead of them had to lose for that to happen...

Either way, I don't think this is going to be as big as we're used to seeing.  I like USC in this one.

If the Irish happens to cover, I'll call 'em legit.  But I have my doubts.

USC -10
