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 teams will meet on October 6, 2012 in Chicago at Soldier Field. The teams will then participate in a home and home series that ought to be popular with those that wager on football starting in 2016.



College football betting on Notre Dame is always trendy and when they compete against Miami it ought to attract a lot of bettors. The game in Chicago will give Notre Dame a slight home field edge while the game in 2016 at South Bend will be a true home game for the Fighting Irish. 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 beat Notre Dame 3 times throughout the 1980′s and in each season they proceeded to win the national championship. In 1988, when they beat Miami, the Fighting Irish got revenge. Notre Dame proceeded to win the national title that season. In 1990 Notre Dame also beat Miami by a score of 29-20. That win propelled the Irish to the Orange Bowl and knocked Miami from national title contention. The teams have not played since.

Miami comes into the 2010 season as a dark horse competitor to get the national title. They are receiving value from those that wager on college football as they are 18-1 to win it all this season. The Hurricanes perform in what is viewed as a vulnerable ACC Conference. Miami returns quarterback Jacory Harris and they have a schedule that could put them into the national title hunt. They play at Ohio State on September 11th and if they can upset the Buckeyes they would get a lot of attention. The concern for Miami is that they’ve got road games at Pittsburgh and at Clemson subsequent to the game vs the Buckeyes. Winning in all 3 locales will not be easy. They also have a game later in the season at home vs Virginia Tech and that will be challenging.

Notre Dame is not thought to be quite as strong as the Hurricanes. The Fighting Irish are 40-1 underdogs to earn it all in 2010. Their schedule is an edge that the Irish have over Miami this season. Notre Dame’s toughest games look to be at home against Pittsburgh and Utah and the season finale at USC.
