Important games to watch during Notre Dame’s bye week

Just because the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are at home eating cheeseburgers this week it doesn’t mean you can just go to the pumpkin patch with the family and totally dismiss the rest of the college football day. You can (and should) keep track of the landscape all day long — which is why the gods sent us Steve Jobs and the iPhone.

At the very least, you should keep track of ranked versus ranked games throughout the day and night. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, all of the home teams in ranked versus ranked matchups are favored — with only one game that has a spread less than a touchdown.
