Notre Dame’s chances of beating USC drop per ESPN FPI

How the computers see Notre Dame’s chances these final two weeks.

I’m in a love-hate relationship with ESPN’s Football Power Index.  I’ve said it before, will say it again, and rehash it another time or two just to be safe.  I love how it essentially tells you who would be favored if two teams met in a game.  I however can’t stand how it has obvious flaws that can’t seem to get fixed.

For the second year in a row, Texas has disappointed in terms of the national stage yet the 6-4 Longhorns are currently the seventh-rated team on FPI.  That’s one example and there are more but that’s not why you’re here.

FPI gives the chance of winning each remaining game for each team in all of college football.  We have followed this all year long as essentially a thermometer of how Notre Dame is viewed by a system that has no feelings, just formulas.

Here is how FPI sees Notre Dame’s chances in the final two weeks of 2022 and how those compare to what the formula said just a week ago.

2022 NFL schedule: Game-by-game predictions for the Saints after bounce-back game against Raiders

2022 NFL schedule: Game-by-game predictions for the Saints after bounce-back game against Raiders, via @DillySanders:

It’s been a season of ups and downs in terms of expectations for Dennis Allen’s first year as the head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Right now though, after a much-needed win against the Las Vegas Raiders, people are back to being high on the potential of this team.

With a newfound confidence and the benefits of a terrible division, the Saints have the opportunity to come back from the rough start and make the playoffs. They need to do a lot, but the chance is there. Looking at the rest of the schedule, it definitely seems like a tall order.

Where things stand with these teams right now, here’s our week-by-week predictions for the rest of the Saints season:

Media nearly unanimous in picking Purdue to beat Nebraska

The media predicts a rough night for Nebraska!

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will try to extend their winning streak to three games in a row when they travel to West Lafayette, Indiana, to take on the Purdue Boilermakers in a Big Ten clash. Nebraska enters with a record of 3-3 (2-1), with their last two wins coming over conference opponents Indiana and Rutgers. Purdue is 4-2 (2-1) on the season and will take the field riding a three-game winning streak. Their two losses on the season are by a combined seven points.

Both teams currently sit at the top of the Big Ten West in the standings sharing first place with Illinois. All three teams are 2-1 as of this morning.

The media is more than convinced of the superiority of Purdue this year as Nebraska media, Purdue media, and national media have all overwhelmingly selected the Boilermakers to win tonight’s ball game. Scroll below to see just a sampling of the predictions made for tonight‘s 6:30 pm kick-off.

Predictions for Commanders vs. Bears, Week 6

Who wins on Thursday night? The Commanders or the Bears? We make our picks.

Is this the week the Washington Commanders [1-4] snap their losing streak? The Commanders came close in a 21-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans Sunday, but a Carson Wentz pass was intercepted at the goal line to break the hearts of Washington fans.

Next up for the Commanders is the Chicago Bears [2-3]. And while the Bears have lost two games in a row, there is a different feeling surrounding Chicago and new head coach Matt Eberflus. Quarterback Justin Fields is coming off his best game, and the Bears are one of the best rushing teams in the NFL.

Who wins?

Bryan Manning

If you had asked me to pick this game a few weeks ago, I would’ve confidently picked the Commanders. Now, not so much. Washington will be without three key offensive starters in wide receiver Jahan Dotson, tight end Logan Thomas and right tackle Sam Cosmi. All are difficult losses, but Cosmi’s absence may be the most difficult to overcome due to the current state of Washington’s offensive line.

The Commanders win this game. Quarterback Carson Wentz plays a turnover-free game while rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushes for at least 80 yards and his first career touchdown. Washington’s defensive line makes life difficult for Fields.

Commanders 20, Bears 16

Ivan Lambert

I am 4-1 [this season’s predictions], and should be 5-0, but the offense couldn’t gain two yards in three plays.
The offense has struggled since the opener.
Jack Del Rio’s defense has looked much better in recent weeks.
The broadcast will make more of Coach Ron’s recent statements if the offense struggles. Even more, if they lose, Coach Ron will be pressured and have a couple of days to make a change to the scheme, staff, or player personnel.
Bears 20, Commanders 17
