Notre Dame-Central Michigan: Staff predictions as Irish look for 4-0 start

We all think Notre Dame wins Saturday – but do they cover the 34.5?

Notre Dame sits 3-0 as they’ve already played 25% of their regular season games.  We wait all year for the season to get here and it seems like it flies by faster than just about anything else.

It’s an odd week for the Fighting Irish as pretty much everyone’s eyes are on the Ohio State showdown next weekend.  Central Michigan brings a 1-1 team to South Bend on Saturday that was blown out by Michigan State and barely got by New Hampshire to date.

Does Notre Dame keep on rolling to 4-0?  We all clearly expect a win but what about in dominating fashion?  Or will the Irish eyes be looking ahead as they sleepwalk to a victory?

The spread is set at 34.5 points.  Do the Irish cover that before hosting Ohio State in the mega-showdown next week?

Here is what the Fighting Irish Wire staff sees happening in Saturday’s contest:
