Michael Floyd Out for Notre Dame Sport Betting. Sport betting on Notre Dame is likely to be less popular now that the Fighting Irish have lost wide receiver Michael Floyd for the rest of the regular season. The Irish are always popular in online sports betting at the sports book but the loss of Floyd will hurt.
Sport betting had Floyd breaking his left collar bone in the win over Michigan State. Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis expects that Floyd will miss the rest of the college football betting season although there is a chance he could return for a bowl game if that is what Notre Dame chose to do. Floyd was a huge part of the Notre Dame offense as sport betting stats show. Heading into the Michigan State sport betting game he was second in the nation in receiving yards at 160 per game.
Many sport betting experts have said that Floyd has made quarterback Jimmy Clausen look better than he really is. Clausen is also not at full strength as he has a right foot injury but he is expected to play against Purdue this week in sport betting. “I’m under the assumption he’ll try to milk as much time off of me [from practice] as he can,” Weis said, “Might he be hobbled some? We’ll have to wait and see. But Jimmy’s a tough guy and unless there’s a serious injury, he’s going to do all he can to play. So we’ll just see where we are.”
Clausen was 22-of-31 passing for 300 yards with two touchdown passes in the sport betting win against Michigan State. He is second in the nation in pass efficiency with a rating of 188.55 as sport betting stats indicate. He’s completed 62 of 91 passes for 951 yards and nine TD passes this sport betting season. Losing Floyd will hurt Clausen a lot though as online sports betting has it. Floyd had 358 yards on 13 catches with five touchdowns as online sports betting statistics indicated.
Last season when Floyd was out the Irish had their troubles in online sports betting. When Floyd played last sport betting season the Irish were 6-4 and averaged 386 yards per game. In the three games he missed they were 1-2 in sport betting and averaged 254 yards per game. “You can never really replace Michael Floyd, a guy that caliber of player. He’s an A-flight player,” Weis said. “What you have to do is put other people in position to go ahead and pick up some of that responsibility. Having some veterans in that mix certainly makes it easier to do that.”
