BYU Opens as Double-Digit Underdog to Notre Dame

BYU will be the underdog for the first time this season when Notre Dame arrives in Provo this Saturday. The betting lines for numerous games have been released, and BYU is currently a 12.5-point underdog against the Fighting Irish, with the point total set at 47.5. Notre Dame is currently undefeated on the season, having secured a convincing 58-7 victory over Stanford on Saturday.

They outgained Stanford significantly, with a total of 598-202, and managed to accumulate 361 yards on the ground. Notably, Notre Dame has triumphed in all six of their games by double digits. Michigan State and North Carolina put up a fight, but overall, Notre Dame has performed impressively on both offense and defense. Following Texas' loss this Saturday, Notre Dame is poised to be ranked #2 in the AP Poll for their upcoming game.

This will be the first time a ranked opponent faces BYU all season, as Notre Dame will be the first #1-ranked team to visit Provo.
