Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Riley Leonard had 12 carries against Texas A&M. Over/Under 15 carries for him in the next two games combined. * Notre Dame’s chances to go unbeaten went from 15.8% to 22.4% after beating Texas A&M. They have the best chances of any team to go unbeaten. On a scale of 1 to 10...how confident are you that they will? * Notre Dame has +430 odds to get a shutout vs Northern Illinois (down from 490 yesterday). What’s your max wager on that? * Over/Under...13.5 points a game allowed by the Notre Dame defense this season. * On the Pat McAfee Show the other day…they got into a mini debate over whether Notre Dame or Iowa should be considered “tight end U”. Should that distinction be decided by how good the tight ends are in college or how good they are once they get to the NFL? * Peter Schrager from the NFL Network has picked the last three Super Bowl matchups and winners. This morning he picked the Packers to face the Chiefs, with Green Bay going in as a wild card to win the NFC and the Chiefs pulling off the historic three-peat by winning it all in New Orleans. Do you Buy or Sell it? * Tom Brady makes his NFL broadcasting debut this weekend when the NFL season starts. There’s a lot of talk about whether or not Brady will be critical enough since he’s played with and against the majority of current players. Is that the number one thing you need from an announcer or is there anything else you think is more important?

0:00.0	Jesse, are you ready for rapid fire.
0:14.0	Let's bring this thing home.
0:16.0	All right, so here we go.
0:17.0	Riley Leonard had 12 carries against Texas A&M last week, over under 15 carries for him in the next two games combined.
0:27.2	I'd have to go under, and I think we kind of talked about this in and out a little bit ago.
0:31.8	I think when you're playing teams like this, there's no real reason to run Riley Leonard.
0:36.1	I think the reason why he ran against Texas A&M is because he needed to run against Texas A&M. There's no real reason to run Riley Leonard. I think you, the reason why he ran against
0:38.5	Texas A&M is because he needed to run against Texas A&M. There were times where schematically,
0:43.1	it just made sense. I mean, I just think love and price can handle the rushing these next few games.
0:48.6	And I think that the more you can save up those runs for when you need them for Riley Leonard,
0:53.3	the better. So I think you're going to see maybe even more of a conservative effort to get him to run
0:57.9	the ball less.
0:59.3	I'm going to go under as well.
1:02.2	It is curious that like if you look back at his 2022 stats at Duke, if you took any two
1:09.8	games back to back, there's only one part of the schedule,
1:14.4	and that is at the end of the season where he had back-to-back games that it didn't add up to
1:19.4	at least 15. He had back-to-back games, the last two of the regular season, that added up to 14.
1:25.7	But I think this is a completely different situation for him now,
1:30.1	a much better offensive line, a much better running game,
1:33.3	much better overall skill talent around him.
1:36.1	And this game is really the next couple of games,
1:40.3	but like this one starting with,
