2012 College Football Gambling Will Offer Miami versus Notre Dame

A rivalry that goes back to the 1950′s will be part of the 2012 college football betting schedule as Miami of Florida plays Notre Dame.

The two squads will match on October 6, 2012 in Chicago at Soldier Field. The squads will then play a home and home series that should be popular with those that bet on football beginning in 2016.



College football betting on Notre Dame is usually popular and when they play Miami it should attract lots of bettors. The competition in 2016 at South Bend will be a true home competition for the Fighting Irish while the competition in Chicago will give Notre Dame a slight home field edge. In 2017, Miami will get the home field edge.

Notre Dame leads the all-time series versus Miami 15-7-1. In 1985 when Notre Dame was coached by Gerry Faust, the Hurricanes destroyed the Fighting Irish. Miami defeated Notre Dame 3 times during the 1980′s and in each season they went on to win the national tournament. In 1988, when they defeated Miami, the Fighting Irish got revenge. Notre Dame went on to win the national championship that season. Notre Dame also defeated Miami in 1990 by a score of 29-20. That win propelled the Irish to the Orange Bowl and knocked Miami from national championship contention. The squads have not played since.

Miami comes into the 2010 season as a dark horse competitor to earn the national championship. They are 18-1 to win it all this season so they’re getting respect from those that bet on college football. The Hurricanes participate in what is deemed a weak ACC Conference. Miami returns quarterback Jacory Harris and they have a schedule that may put them into the national championship hunt. If they can upset the Buckeyes when they play at Ohio State on September 11th, they would get lots of interest. The concern for Miami is that they have road games at Pittsburgh and at Clemson after the match vs the Buckeyes. Winning in all 3 locales is not going to be effortless. They also have got a match later in the season at home vs Virginia Tech which will be hard.

The Hurricanes are considered a little stronger than Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are 40-1 long shots to win it all in 2010. The edge that the Irish have over Miami this season is their schedule. Notre Dame’s most difficult games seem to be at home vs Pittsburgh and Utah and the season finale at USC.
