Today’s Best Bets: Can Notre Dame Get Rolling?

After a very bad weekend, we won both our bets yesterday, and man. That felt good. You ever feel so good after winning a bet that you worry you might have a gambling addiction? Patience, everybody. Discipline. Try taking a day off, and see how that goes.

Georgia Tech @ Notre Dame

Here’s the thing about this Notre Dame team: When they win, they win big. They’ve only won nine times, so we’re dealing with a small sample here, but only one of those nine wins came by fewer than nine points. Notre Dame’s been bad in close games, blowing a lot they should have won. But when they don’t blow them? They tend to pull away.

Again, nine wins is a small sample. If the line was giving Notre Dame more of a home-court edge, we might tread more lightly. But out of everything on tonight’s slate, this is the one we feel best about.

Pick: Notre Dame –8 (–110). 10.00 units to win 9.09.
Pick: Under 144 (–115). 10.00 units to win 8.70.

I am only roughly 90% confident in these numbers. We’ll get that Google Sheet up soon which tracks all our bets this year.

2025: –106.94 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)

2025: –9% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 43 single-game markets)

Pre-2025: 0% average ROI (worse when limited to only sports)

Units taken from best odds we can find at major sportsbooks available to most Americans.
