History shows us that betting on Notre Dame football is very smart money

We live in a world run by the sports landscape, and in America, football is king. From a college football perspective, putting a wager down and enjoying your Saturday is therapeutic for some.

While the betting landscape can be a volatile one, past data and trends can help the average better to alleviate as much risk as possible. In the last ten years, according to Ben Fawkes, betting on Notre Dame football has been a very wise wager. The betting data is impressive for the Irish, who are the third best college team at covering the spread during that duration.

The only programs with a better record covering the spread are Liberty (50-31-2) and Kansas State (72-51-4). That had Kansas State’s win percentage at 58.5%, while Notre Dame is just below them at 57.9% (73-53-2). For some Irish fans and supporters, those numbers feel a bit surprising, especially for those born after 1988 and have suffered some difficult times.

Then you sit there and think for a second, well yes, Brian Kelly did win most of the games he was supposed to. He also lost the games people told him he was supposed to as well.

Whether it’s from a positive or negative scope, Notre Dame has been a positive betting pick in recent years. Whatever the line is, the Irish stand a good chance to cover. In the victories, you can expect a usually sound performance, while the losses will bring utter agony.
