Notre Dame and UNLV offer the starkest contrast of College Football betting Programs. The Fighting Irish are the ultimate traditional name brand. By contrast are the perpetual loser UNLV Rebels. Notre Dame epitomizes the blue-blood nature of college football. Despite the fact their last national championship was in 1988. Notre Dame carries the ultimate board brand cache. UNLV is one of the worst programs in college football history. That is why the Rebels’ slight improvement in 2022 is largely unnoticed. UNLV will get paid handsomely and fund their program as a designated whipping boy on Saturday.
