Here’s how the drill goes. Without looking, I take a guess on what the initial college football lines are going to be for Week 6. The real lines are added after to see if there might be anything that appears to be way off.

Now the college football season has flipped the switch.

It’s still strange, but the matchups are better, and the values are insane considering how many upsets and crazy outcomes there have been early on.

Here’s how the drill goes. Without looking, I take a guess on what the initial college football lines are going to be for Week 5. The real lines are added after to see if there might be anything that appears to be way off.

The early lines and odds are out for Week 4 of the college football campaign. What are the early values with the SEC coming back and the season starting to kick in?

Pete Fiutak @PeteFiutak

Finally, the season is about to get a whole lot stronger.

The Big Ten might be a month away from getting going, but the SEC is back, the ACC and Big 12 seasons are starting to get rolling, and the overall play should be a whole lot sharper.

Notre Dame/Navy: Prediction Time Already?!?

Notre Dame and Navy’s game for the end of August is very much up in the air. But until it’s cancelled we can still get our predictions in!

In a perfect world we’ll have college football go off without a hitch and games will be played in front of full crowds starting at the end of August. Now is that likely or realistic? Not so much but until we’re told otherwise we’re still left with the task of predicting how this college football season will go.

We’ve already gone over ESPN’s Football Power Index and how they see Notre Dame not only losing three games but more specifically, having very little chance against three different opponents in 2020.

Our friend Pete Fiutak over at College Football News started putting together some of his “fearless predictions”, pre-season style anyway and today offered his thoughts on Notre Dame vs. Navy in Dublin.

Nothing like putting a prediction out there for a game that seems less likely to be taking place by the day. I would argue against one point he brings up though and that’s Navy having an advantage with fewer practices. Maybe it’s just from watching their pre-season struggles in the Showtime series they were featured in a few years back but that offense doesn’t appear to hit the ground running often.

Ultimately Fiutak picks Notre Dame 34-16 in his prediction, which would be a Notre Dame cover by BetMGM’s posted line where the Irish are a 16.5 point favorite.

Notre Dame will have spots to fill with six players getting drafted and another six signing free agent deals with NFL teams over the weekend and as is always the case with the Navy game, the Irish will still have superior talent and much bigger lines on both sides of the ball.

I’m with Fiutak on Notre Dame winning this game fairly easily and think it taking place early in the season is a better thing for the Irish than the Midshipmen. I’ll also go along with him four months before the game is set to be played and say that Notre Dame will cover. For fun I’ll say 41-16.

Now let’s just hope this thing somehow is played as scheduled.
