Show Notes

Episode No. 26 of the Irish Illustrated Interviews podcast series is hosted by Drew Mentock and Tim O’Malley and features a conversation with college football betting analyst Tim Murray, the host of VSiN’s College Football Tailgate Show on Saturday mornings and the VSiN College Football Betting Podcast.

He’s also a diehard fan of Notre Dame, one of the few teams he cheers for still as a member of the media.

Our conversation covers a variety of topics. That includes why he’s picking Notre Dame to win the title, the season opener against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, other future Irish betting lines and why quarterback CJ Carr may not be the best preseason bet to win the Heisman Trophy.

We also discuss why he became a fan, calling Navy games during a Notre Dame loss and more.

Before we get started, if you or someone you know has a problem with gambling, call 1-800-MY-RESET for a free and confidential helpline that’s available 24/7.
