OPENING ODDS: Notre Dame is a double-digit favorite on the road vs BYU

In their quest to tie the Miami Hurricanes for the longest winning streak over the past three decades, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have now conquered their 16th consecutive game by a margin of double digits. As they stand on the brink of achieving this historic feat, the only obstacle between them and the record is the BYU Cougars. However, oddsmakers have their own perspective on the upcoming matchup.

According to data from FanDuel Sportsbook, Notre Dame is currently favored by 10.5 points against the BYU Cougars, with an over/under of 47.5 points set for the game. While spreads do not provide exact predictions, they generally offer a reliable indication of the expected outcome. Despite a 5-0 record, BYU's performance this season has been lackluster, with the team failing to make a significant impact.

Their current ranking of No. 8 and status as underdogs at home further emphasize the challenging task that awaits them in their upcoming encounter with Notre Dame.
