00:00Semifinals begin tonight. In Miami, it's the Orange Bowl between two programs you know very well in
00:07college football. The sixth seed Penn State and the seventh seed Notre Dame. DRS the story entering
00:13this matchup tonight in South Florida is how close and competitive it is expected to be
00:19by the odds. We have seen market movement but basically the Irish opened as a slight favorite.
00:25They got up to a two and a half point favorite earlier this week. Now as we get ready for this
00:30game on this Thursday game day there are just 20 cents of difference on those money line prices
00:39to win outright and earn a spot in two Mondays from now national championship game in Atlanta.
00:46The lowest total we have seen in the college football playoff is 45 and a half both for
00:52the Irish's game in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia and tonight against the Nittany Lions
00:57and James Franklin. Here we are DRS on this Thursday. It is game day once more in the CFP
01:04semis at the Orange Bowl. Do you still feel the same way about this game as you did before?
01:11I do. I've actually felt a little bit better because if it is Jeremiah Love that left last
01:15week's game after re-aggravating a knee injury and isn't 100 percent and sometimes you take a look
01:20at head coaches and what they tell you. Now you take a look at James Franklin with Abdul Carter
01:24we'll get that in just a moment but also with Freeman going hey look nobody's a hundred percent
01:28at this time of the year. That lets me know that Jeremiah Love truly isn't anywhere close to 100
01:33percent and if you are in the fan blue sports book and saying okay who's the best running back
01:36on Notre Dame it's by far Jeremiah Love. Look at his price bet 35 and a half. Look at your
01:42Darien price 48 and a half. That's going to tell you the picture here because Notre Dame does have
01:47a very good football team and a staunch defense and has won some big football games. I get that
01:52here but I just look at both offenses and try to break it down. I just see Notre Dame having a
01:56slightly tougher time moving the football especially now that we think Love is going to be hindered in
02:01any way. Keep in mind Love being seen at practice with a bulky knee brace on which maybe they drop
02:06it down to a compression sleeve whatever but they're clear something is wrong with that knee
02:10and for one of the most electric football players in college football to not be 100 percent against
02:14a good defense when he's maybe the focal points of your offense that's giving me a little bit of
02:18trepidation so nothing has changed this week to bring me back to Notre Dame but as you see
02:23minus 120 plus 100 on the money line this is a great football game against two evenly matched
02:27teams where if you're just looking for a little bit of the excess which might not be there out
02:32of Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love.
