Week 1 Teaser:
Clemson vs Georgia (-4.5)
Notre Dame at Texas A&M (U53.5)
(B+6 +104)
Rational:
Lotta late line movement in both games here. As of 10 am CST, Georgia dropped to -10.5 and the O/U in the ND A&M game went up a point. Both work in our favor. Georgia looks to keep the train rolling after losing quite a few offensive and defensive players from last year. Clemson is looking to have a bounce back year after a couple disappointing years. This game while at Mercedes Benz leans far closing to a home game for Georgia. Keeping it simple here and taking the dawgs over Dabo. ND vs A&M will be a dogfight. ND’s offensive line has 6 combined starts going into the College Station to open up the year. A&M has 2-3 NFL players on their defensive line. Elko coached ND transfer QB Riley Leonard for the last 2 years at Duke. Elko knows Leonard’s strengths and weaknesses, Leonard practiced against Elko’s defense but I still give the advantage to Elko here. Notre Dame has a top 3 defense in college football and Connor Weigman is nothing special. I expect this game to be a field positioning game where both defenses shine.
