On Monday, the Supreme Court nixed a law that bars gambling on football, baseball, basketball, and other sports in most states. These states have now been given the green light to legalize sports betting.

No, it’s not legal to gamble on sports immediately upon this rule change. However, it seems pretty clear that people will be paying close attention to the Sept. 1 first matchup between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Michigan Wolverines for reasons other than just fandom.

That said, 5dimes released its updated betting lines and things have changed dramatically since the initial lines were released months ago. Immediately following the completion of the 2017 season, Notre Dame was listed as a two-point favorite at home over Michigan. Fast forward to today and it’s actually the Wolverines that are the favorites. Notre Dame is now a three-point underdog at home.

So, why the change?

It’s pretty clear that it’s because of the transfer of quarterback Shea Patterson, who will likely be the starter for the Wolverines when they head to South Bend this fall. He transferred in from Ole Miss and the NCAA ruled that he would be immediately eligible. There is typically a one-year waiting period for transfers, but the NCAA granted his waiver and it’s more likely than not that he’ll be the guy for head coach Jim Harbaugh this fall.

In his second year with the Rebels, Patterson completed 166 of 260 passes (64-percent) for 2,259 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions in seven games. As a freshman, he completed 72 of 132 passes (55-percent) for 880 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions.

If Notre Dame is going to get the job done at home it’s going to take a stellar effort by the Fighting Irish defense and improved play at the quarterback position. Brandon Wimbush had a great spring and looks to be separating himself as the clear starter at quarterback heading into the summer. Defensively, the return of defensive tackle Jerry Tillery and linebacker Tevon Coney will be big for the Irish defense and the addition of safety Alohi Gilman, an expected starter who transferred in from Navy, will help in the secondary.

Notre Dame will host Michigan on Saturday, Sept. 1, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 pm ET inside Notre Dame Stadium. The game will air on NBC.

The two teams last met in South Bend back in 2014. Notre Dame defeated Michigan, 31-0, behind a stellar effort from quarterback Everett Golson. He completed 23 of 34 passes for 226 yards and three scores. Wide receiver Will Fuller caught nine passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Amir Carlisle caught two scores on the night as well. The defense picked off Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner three times with Max Redfield, Elijah Summate and Cody Riggs each notching one for the Irish. The Wolverines turned the ball over four times on the night, while Notre Dame didn’t turn it over once.

The two teams have played 42 times with Michigan leading the series 24-16-1.
