Seeing a couple of places predicting a Duke win because of this: they expect a big ND letdown after such an emotionally draining game last week, while on the other side Duke will be super fired up because this is their 'championship' game, and a night game to boot. C'mon. Just STOP already. This is just as bad as blaming the refs for last week's loss.
Excuses already?

If i'm a scholarship player on ND, I'm pissed over what happened last week and looking to take it out on the next team we face. Too bad for Duke they are running into that. I believe ND easily covers the -6.5 and wins by 2 scores.
Now if ND had won last week, I could see a let down, but after a loss, it just makes them hungrier.

They especially looked different the last 2 plays on defense.
Agree! That's why I was puzzled by that reasoning. Should be a HUGE motivation to show this team is really good.
The over/under is 55 and the spread is 5.5, producing an estimated score of 30-25 ND
I’ll take you one better NJ. If I’m the guy or gal that hands out the water bottles, I’m pissed and ready to kick ass. Just do it !!! Go Irish !!!
Agreed. They looked to be about 9% different if you ask me.
Yes
Reminded me of Stanford in 2015 when they went down the field in 30 secs to win after we scored
NIce stir the pot post. Werent you the guy that said you move on to the next game Sunday morning?
I’m with you.
ND pounds Duke tomorrow night. This’ll be a convincing win. We’ll impose our will and control the game.
God you are a tool. One minute you deflect blame from the D. The next you heap it. Man I bet you have a lot of friends.
I still SMH at 10 on the field after a ND called timeout at that point in the game. That's it. End of story. I support the coaching staff and team 100%, that said, again, I still SMH.
Every game is emotionally draining. You don't lose because you're emotionally drained, you lose because you're not as good as the type of teams that would rarely ever lose to Duke regardless of the narrative.
Im bullish on ND tomorrow. Obviously gotta get through the 1st 5 minutes but ND matches up great with Duke.
If ND is any good they will stomp them. If it's a Win in a "close fought tough ACC matchup" (in the words of the great BK) then ND probably belongs ranked right around where they are if not a bit lower (low to mid teens)
“Take the kid gloves off” ?
Like they’ve been nice guys just coasting in their previous games ?
You really are the Village idiot !
Im curious if you have you ever played football or sports in general & high school counts? I dont think you comprehend what its like to be in a big game. Its a different feeling to play against a rival or in a big game. The way you discount emotion in sports is why your analysis lacks expertise.
Lol... 2 plays? Actually they stopped the TD.. and on the last play one short is on the coaches not the players!!! So yea.. completely different from recent years... 😁
I've been having good success fading these overs. Im surprised the line makers havent adjusted to the running clock on 1st downs & out of bounds. Went under in NC State game tonight couldnt believe it was 54.
Hungrier for what? Maybe more comfortable but hungry to beat Duke? ND owns the garbage ACC. That’s why Jack signed up. He can’t hire a good coach but he made ND look elite by scheduling 💩 ACC teams.
LOL the ACC has been complete and utter garbage outside of an FSU and Clemson run over the course of the last 15 years.
It isn't that they don't have at least 1 nationally relevant team in the conference, it's that the quality of conference drops off like the grand canyon after that 1 or 2 teams at the very top in most years
