Notre Dame makes their second ever trip to the Camping World Bowl (it was the Champs Sports Bowl when the Irish lost to Florida State in 2011) and take on a 7-5 Iowa State team that offers one of the nation’s best quarterbacks and is coached by one of the biggest, young names in collegiate coaching.
So how do the sports books see this one lining up?
Notre Dame (10-2) opens as a 3.5-point favorite over Iowa State (7-5).

For those that think the number is too low, remember that Iowa State has only lost one game all season by more than one possession. There also could be some reason to think this game means a lot more for Iowa State than it does Notre Dame, who won’t say it publicly but no-doubt wishes they were getting ready to take on Florida in the Orange Bowl.
