Why Notre Dame can cover

Notre Dame’s lone loss this season was a shocking upset at home against Northern Illinois, but the Fighting Irish have looked like College Football Playoff contenders outside of that game. They have won three of their other four games by double digits, including road wins against then-No. 20 Texas A&M and Purdue. Their latest performance was a 31-24 win over then-No. 15 Louisville, covering the spread as 6.5-point favorites. 

Senior quarterback Riley Leonard completed 17 of 23 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinals. He is also the team’s leading rusher with 374 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 6.3 yards per carry. The Fighting Irish are 10-2 in their last 12 home games, and they have covered the spread in six of their last eight games. See which team to pick here. 

Why Stanford can cover

Stanford is coming off back-to-back blowout losses, but it went on the road and beat Syracuse as a 9-point underdog in Week 3. Junior quarterback Ashton Daniels completed 23 of 38 passes for 178 yards in that game, while freshman running back Chris Davis Jr. added 79 yards. Daniels suffered a lower-body injury in the loss to Clemson, which caused him to miss the Virginia Tech game. 

He was questionable heading into that contest and could return this week. Freshman running back Micah Ford leads Stanford’s rushing attack with 223 yards on 46 carries, racking up 122 of those yards at Clemson. Notre Dame has failed to cover the spread in both of its games as a double-digit favorite this season. See which team to pick here.
