Kind of seen this before
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is 4-1, ranked #11 in the country, and coming fresh off of a bye week. This week the Golden Domers welcome those crazy kids from Stanford to South Bend for an ACC battle.
The words still make me tilt my head.
The Stanford Cardinal is coming off of back-to-back blowout losses to the Clemson Tigers and Virginia Tech Hokies to give them a 2-3 record for the year. While there are some out there that have been overly stating how tough this team is — they really aren’t showing any of that.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Notre Dame is a 23.5 point favorite with an over/under of 44.5.
It’s going to be important for the Irish, over the next three weeks before their next bye week, to be impressive on the field. The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released on November 4, and covering the spread in these games will go a long way of dismissing the NIU debacle.
