College football Sunday picks feature Ole Miss moving on from Lane Kiffin and Notre Dame hosting Wisconsin
An Outkick betting columnist previews two Sunday college football fixtures, using them to highlight how offseason coaching and roster turnover are reshaping expectations heading into the new season. The picks focus on Louisville versus Ole Miss, notable as the only match-up between two ranked teams that weekend, and Wisconsin at Notre Dame, played at a neutral venue that could blunt Notre Dame's usual home advantage.
For Louisville-Ole Miss, the writer backs the under at 55.5 points, citing heavy transfer turnover on both rosters and Ole Miss's need to move past Lane Kiffin's departure to LSU under new coach Pete Golding, with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss offering some continuity. For Wisconsin-Notre Dame, he takes Wisconsin plus 20.5 points, noting the game will actually be played at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin rather than at Notre Dame's usual home ground, and pointing out Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman has lost his season opener twice in four years, going 3-5 in his teams' first two games historically.
