Against the spread
Look for Notre Dame to win handily, but this spread is dialed in. AVOID.
Over/Under
The Under prevailed when these teams met in South Bend last season when Standofrd downed the Irish 16-14. But the Over had cashed each of the previous 3 times these squads had met since 2018. And the Over has hit in 4 of the Notre Dame's last 5 visits to Stanford.
The total has gone Over in 7 of Notre Dame's last 9 games on the road and in 4 straight Irish games overall.
In scoring, this match-up features a UND offense ranked 16th in the nation on the road (36.8 points per game) against an SU defense ranked 127th at home (36.9).
Analytically, for the Irish, their best offensive performances of the season have been in the 2nd half of the season. And the team's best defensive performances were before Halloween.
On a decent-weather night in Northern California, TAKE THE OVER 50.5 (-110).
