Miami is ranked No. 1, but still a touchdown underdog at No. 4 Notre Dame. And this is a rarity
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The top-ranked Miami Fighting Marlins are set to face No. 4 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a game where Miami is considered a significant underdog. Barring injuries, this is the first time in over a decade that a No. 1 team has been this underdog in a regular-season game. Miami's star wide receiver, Malachi Toney, is out due to injury, which could be a major blow to their offense.
Notre Dame is currently a seven-point favorite and has been the favorite at most sportsbooks. However, with Toney's absence, this game could be a rare upset. Bookmakers have been adjusting their lines, with some predicting the line could drop below seven points by kickoff. Miami's quarterback, Darian Mensah, is seen as a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy should they pull off the upset.
