This is it Authentic Devonta Freeman Jersey , Notre Dame haters. Your last, best chance at stopping the Irish from claiming their spot in the College Football Playoff all boils down to ... Syracuse.Notre Dame has embarked on a 10-0 campaign thanks to wins over Michigan and a bunch of other opponents who looked much more formidable back in August (Virginia Tech, Stanford, Florida State). The Irish have taken advantage of their weak schedule to run out to the No. 3 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. Beating the Orange Saturday and then a .500 USC team would all but guarantee a spot in the year-end bracket.But Syracuse is trending upward thanks to head coach Dino Babers and veteran quarterback Eric Dungey. The Orange have only lost to the best two teams the ACC has to offer this fall, which sounds pretty great until you realize that means Clemson (great!) and Pittsburgh (...um), the latter of whom Notre Dame has already beaten in 2018.So the Irish already have a transitive win here. A real victory — this one on the theoretically neutral field of Yankee Stadium in New York City — would set the tone for Notre Dame’s first-ever playoff bid. Can Syracuse be the blight that ruins Brian Kelly’s best-laid plans?Syracuse vs. Notre Dame prediction:The S&P+ ratings dub the Irish as the nation’s No. 6 team, because beating Florida State is meaningless these days. Syracuse clocks in at No. 39, likely due to the fact the ACC is just a crumbling sandcastle being washed away by the tide. But this is an exceptionally boring week of college football, and even though the numbers see this as a double-digit win for ND, let’s say the Orange win this one in an unlikely upset just to make cupcake week worth remembering.Time, TV channel, and streaming infoTime: 2:30 p.m. ETLocation: Yankee Stadium Youth Ricardo Allen Jersey , New York, NYTV: NBCStreaming: NBC Sports,fuboTVOdds: Notre Dame is favored by 10 points.Syracuse vs. Notre Dame news:How did ‘Cuse go from four-win team to legitimate ranked program? Dino Babers turned his special teams play into a massive advantage.Saturday’s game was supposed to be a home game for the Irish, but Brian Kelly isn’t sweating it.Babers is staking the legacy of his seniors on this game against Notre Dame.Here’s a bunch of bad poetry to make you hate Notre Dame and its fans even more than you already do.What’s the Notre Dame quarterback situation going to look like?Ian Book missed last week’s game against Florida State due to injury, pushing Brandon Wimbush back into the team’s starting quarterback role. This was not a problem because the 2018 Seminoles are just a pile of raccoons stuffed into pads and jerseys.Syracuse brings a tougher challenge. The Orange have only allowed touchdowns on 58% of opponents’ red zone possessions and, at 3.3 sacks per game, are one of the FBS’s most powerful pass rushing teams. Whether it’s Book or Wimbush, Notre Dame will have its hands full in the Bronx.Dan Quinn: Damontae Kazee, Jordan Richards will start at safety for now The Atlanta Falcons have endured a nightmarish doomsday scenario at the safety spot in 2018, with FS Ricardo Allen and SS Keanu Neal both now on IR. The once-excellent depth will now be thrust into the starting spotlight, if Dan Quinn’s Monday presser holds true. So, the plan now is for FS Damontae Kazee and SS Jordan Richards to man the safety spots http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-grady-jarrett-jersey , and for newly-acquired SS Keith Tandy and former safety-turned-linebacker Kemal Ishmael to slot in behind Richards. You’d figure slot corner Brian Poole will also factor in for a few looks here, particularly as rookie CB Isaiah Oliver gets more comfortable. Actually, that might work out nicely. Oliver’s growth could be a huge boost to help cover the injuries here, as it would give the team some flexibility in the slot to let, perhaps, Robert Alford fall back there and let Oliver man the outside. That’d let Poole play more safety, where he’d be a natural fit with his tackling ability. As for any new faces at the position, well, it’s a different story. So, those dreams of the team trading for star FS Earl Thomas or signing a free agent like Eric Reid don’t appear to be coming true, at least for now. The team is notoriously cagey when it comes to personnel, though the plan ahead makes sense for what Atlanta typically does under Quinn. If Kazee or Richards falters Brian Poole Jersey , that may of course change in the coming weeks. The Falcons are darn lucky they had the depth to withstand losing their starting tandem, even from a roster standpoint. They have options now, though the plan in place now doesn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence. Richards is a smart player who has made some costly errors while in Atlanta, though he could settle over time. Kazee has electrifying potential, but is still learning learning how to play with the proper level of physicality and tackle within the bounds of what the NFL allows in 2018. It’s not perfect, but how can it be when two starters go down at the same position? For now, this is what the team has to work with internally. We’ll see if it works, and if they’re wise to ignore adding an outside option.
