The #5 Stanford Cardinal (10-1) are trying to keep their slim National Title hopes alive on Saturday as they get set to host the #24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-3).
Stanford went on the road last year and came away with a 37-14 victory as 4-point favorites in this yearly rivalry game.
The Cardinal have won 2 straight against Notre Dame after dropping 7 in a row previously.
The Fighting Irish have covered the point spread against Stanford in 7 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, while the under has been a winner in 6 of those matchups.
Stanford is a 7-point favorite with the total at 58 for this 8:00 PM ET Saturday clash, and you can catch the college football action live on ABC.
Nearly 75% of tracked bettors are taking the Cardinal to cover the point spread, yet the line hasn’t budged since it debuted earlier in the week.
Stanford has covered the point spread in 9 of their 11 games this year, while Notre Dame has only done so in 5 of 11.
Notre Dame has been favored in every single game this season, but they’ve lost against the 3 legitimate teams they’ve faced.
Michigan, South Florida, and USC all grabbed victories against the Fighting Irish, and Notre Dame has covered the point spread in just 2 of their last 5 overall.
Stanford had reeled off 9 straight covers of the point spread before losing in a blowout against Oregon and barely holding on for a 3-point win as 17-point favorites at home against California last weekend.
The Cardinal has gone over the total in 4 of their last 5 games and will put their 5-1 overall record at home against the 3-1 road mark of the Fighting Irish.
