Sportbetting has Notre Dame getting back star wide receiver Michael Floyd this week for their game against Navy.The Fighting Irish are a Top 25 team and are favored in sports betting online by 11 points as they host Navy on Saturday.
Sportbetting on Notre Dame is always popular even though it is not always profitable. The Fighting Irish are oftentimes overvalued in sportbetting but getting Floyd back will help. He is a great wide receiver who can impact sports betting online results. “He came back and said he was ready to go,” head coach Charlie Weis said. “It wasn’t too long before I was already getting a text from No. 7 (quarterback Jimmy Clausen). He might have been just as happy as No. 3 (Floyd).”
Sport betting stats had Floyd with 13 catches for 358 yards and five touchdowns in just over two games of action. He was leading the country in receiving yards per game as sportbetting statistics indicated when he got hurt. With his return the Fighting Irish have two great receivers as Floyd combines with Golden Tate to give Clausen two important offensive weapons that can impact sports betting online results. Notre Dame is 6th in the country in total yards per game and their passing attack is a big reason why. Notre Dame is 8th in the country in passing yards per game and that number may go up with the return of Floyd.
Floyd is expected to play against Navy but not every play. “The biggest thing that he’s going to have to happen is get tackled once,” Weis said. “He’ll get hit in practice some, but I doubt we’re going to try him out in practice, see how that shoulder feels getting tackled. We’re going to have to wait and find that out as it happens in a game.”
Notre Dame did get some bad sportbetting injury news though as backup quarterback Dayne Crist has a torn ACL and is out for the season. Evan Sharpley is now the backup quarterback and a receiver would have to come in as the number three quarterback for the Irish.
Notre Dame is worried about next sports betting online season since Clausen could turn pro which would leave them with no quarterback if Crist is not recovered from his surgery. In other sportbetting injury news for Notre Dame, defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore is probable, right guard Trevor Robinson is doubtful and running back Armando Allen is day to day.
