Matthew, the lines are not set to predict the winner but to get even wagering on both sides. When one side starts dominating the betting, the line moves. It's that simple.

Hi Eric, why is Wisconsin favored by odds makers over ND given that the two teams are effectively playing on a neutral field?

Hi Patrick. The Irish coaches still love Mills. He did have a season-high snaps against Purdue, but you're right about not seeing him as much. The big reason is starter Jayson Ademilola has surged and has been really productive. ... Jordan Botelho only played special teams Saturday in his season debut. I mentioned that in my game column. Just a matter of getting back into the swing of things. I'd expect a larger role this Saturday for him. ... Yes rough day for Kevin Austin Jr. The Irish need a bounceback Saturday from him.

Good afternoon Eric, I have noticed that Rylie Mills has not been as active this year as last. Has he taken a step back or is there another reason? Also, I don't recall seeing Jordan Botelho on defense. Did he only play on special teams? Finally, rough day for Kevin Austin. Looking forward to a game where he dominates.

In case you missed it this morning, Notre Dame received a verbal commitment from running back Sedrick Irvin Jr., a top 100 prospect in the 2023 class. The Irish sit atop the Rivals.com team rankings for the 2022 cycle and are No. 2 in the 2023 cycle. They're No. 2 in both for 247Sports.
