Notre Dame vs Stanford Prediction
In this Notre Dame vs Stanford Prediction, Stanford is coming as -5 home favorites. Stanford has been the better team this season, as they have a better overall record and have been very strong at home. Both teams are coming into this matchup in excellent form, as they are 7-1 and 4-1 in their last eight and five games respectively, so I see no value on either side. They have both been playing very good defense lately and they allow just 140.7 points per game combined off their opponents, so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under 146 points in this one.
