Notre Dame opens as a favorite vs. USC?

Really?

After Saturday’s disasterous showing at Louisville, Notre Dame fans have been doing a lot of sitting and wondering.

Wondering just how many losses Notre Dame will end 2023 with.

Wondering how things got so bad for the offense so quickly.

Wondering why the offensive coordinator search this past off-season was handled the way it was.

Wondering just how ugly things will be when unbeaten USC comes to Notre Dame Stadium this weekend.

Believe it or not, Notre Dame who is fresh off being dominated at Louisville, has opened as a favorite as they host USC this weekend.  The following was posted to Circa Sports:

The line:  Notre Dame -2
The total: 61.5 points

I can see a path to victory but count me as one who certainly didn’t see being favored coming.
