I don't remember seeing a prediction thread for last week or this week..

 

The first time I saw louisville play this year, I told my boys that ND would struggle with them, and that was early in the year. They have an athletic defensive team, a great receiver and a pretty good running back. Add that up and that spells disaster for ND. louisville is playing with their back-up freshman quarterback, but he has played quite a bit already and they had a week off to prep him against ND's lowly D.

 

Everything in this game points to louisville. If ND doesn't hold on to the ball, they could seriously get embarrased as louisville won't hesitate to run the score up.

 

Rocket's banner is inspiring me....I am going to keep the faith....for this week.

ND comes out inspired, only commits one turnover and pulls this out 34-31.

GO IRISH!

Just win, baby...

What the hell.. 27-17 good guys.

Haven't picked against the Irish all year but I have absolutely no faith in this defense, it could get ugly but our offense makes it respectable.

 

Louisville- 44

ND-35

ND has basically two defensive starters left that were starters at the beginning of the year. ND also turns the ball over at an astonishing clip, which we all know. And the Cards have a pretty good RB which ND has shown in recent games not to be able to defend very well. Golson's pretty flakey and Louisville's got an All World-Beater DB & there's practically zero confidence in ND's coaching. That is why I think ND is going to win. They've lost in incredible fashion. Two of the losses were almost improbable, and the other one, came down to 2014's latest reffing trend of calling OPI. Given all of that nonsensensical malarkey that it took for ND to lose, I'm picking ND to win the game--because nobody's that unlucky. And if ND manages to pee on their legs/arms/torso/feet/face/eyeballs/ears & bellybuttons once again, you can find me in my post apocalyptic bunker with a bunch of honeybaked hams...

While there is every reason to not pick the Irish to win this one, I'm gonna go with my heart and say:

 

Irish 38

L'ville 34

Irish -32

Birds - 31

 

We score 4 TDs and convert on a 2-point play after each TD!

Kelly leaves nothing to chance with the kicking team and everyone says it is genius!

It's Senior Day, something will happen late that will lead to a W.

 

Close, 31-28 Irish

 

Would love to see Brindza get some vindication before going to SC.

im taking louisville to cover all the way!

ND - 38

Louisville - 45

My prediction...

We aren't going to be happy.

34-24 ND. Offense will play one of the best all-around games of the year.

45-38 Louisville

Louisville wins in ugliest game yet. 48/15. We botch two pat and Kelly screams at everybody all day. No faith

Louisville - 41

Notre Dame - 38

My prediction: I'm leaving at halftime.

My prediction...

We aren't going to be happy.

 

This still isn't a prediction concerning whether we'll win or not. There are chronic bitc*ers on this board who are miserable even in victory.

Turnovers

The worse we play, the harder we try; and the harder we try, the worse we play. Downward spiral continues: L'ville 52 ND 24
