Anthony says with the Cubs scoring 41 runs against the pirates the last three games,

0:20.6

will Notre Dame and A&M combined for more than 41 points this Saturday?

0:25.9

This is a good question.

0:26.9

I've said this before.

0:27.7

I think if anyone gets to about the 27 mark, they'll probably win this game for sure.

0:34.0

You can maybe even take that number down to like 21, 24.

0:40.3

I just don't see Texas A&M having a lot of success against Notre Dame's defense. So this could very easily be, you know, like a 24 to 10 game,

information. It's just, it's a season opener and you've got a new head coach on one side,

1:48.4

1:54.8

quarterbacks are coming off injuries, lower leg, you know, foot injuries last year. There's just a lot of unknown in this.
