It is early March, Notre Dame has had three spring practices, so it’s time for some 2019 predictions! At least it is according to BetOnline in Las Vegas, who set the over/under win totals for the top college football teams for 2019. As the headline suggests, Notre Dame came in at 9.5 wins, the same as Oregon, Texas, and Michigan, a half game better than LSU and Florida, and worse than Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Washington, and UCF.
This suggests Vegas doesn’t see last season as some sort of sign the program is ready to make a jump, but it does put it to the fans, or bettors, to decide if that is the case.
