Opening Odds: Notre Dame is a double digit favorite over Purdue

Despite the plentiful takes about how rotten the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is after a terrible loss at home to the Northern Illinois Huskies — Vegas is a little kinder with the boys in Blue and Gold.

According to FanDuel, Notre Dame is an 11.5 point favorite this weekend against the Purdue Boilermakers with an over/under of 45.5.

I don’t know a single Notre Dame fan that honestly believes the Irish will play well enough to cover such a spread with the way the offense played against NIU — but the Huskies are probably a better team than Purdue anyways.
