— Bill Belichick the recruiter is going to work
— Marshall opted out of the Independence Bowl
— Several players have emerged from the transfer portal and found new schools, including former Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold (Auburn) and USC quarterback Miller Moss (Louisville).
Now let’s pick some games…
Indiana at Notre Dame (-7.5) Total: 51.5
SMU at Penn State (-8.5) Total: 53.5
Clemson at Texas (-11.5) Total: 51.5
