Michigan has been a money burner the past coule of years and are now 10-17 against the spread in their last 27 games. They were only 7-5 straight up last year and their two non-covers this season means that there aren’t Wolverine fans with money in their pockets riding their charges. Notre Dame tattooed Penn State in a spotlight game last week. It figures that ND would get all the money in today’s matchup. That may have been the case in the old marketplace. But ND opened at -7 1/2 and got bet down to -4 1/2 this week. ND will doubtlessly take some money today, but the fact that this move occured shows the differences in the marketplace in recent years. Smart money has a lot of influence midweek, and it wasn’t square money that was taking the underdog in this one.
