The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team just won its 16th straight game by double-digits and is just one more away from tying the Miami Hurricanes for the longest such streak over the last 30 years. The team standing in the way of Notre Dame accomplishing the feat is the BYU Cougars.
But… the oddsmakers have something to say about it.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Notre Dame is a 10.5 point favorite over the BYU Cougars with an over/under of 47.5 points.
Spreads, of course, aren’t exactly predictions, but they generally paint a fairly accurate picture of a likely scenario. Despite being 5-0, has BYU been impressive at all this season? No — they haven’t been, and the fact that they are ranked No. 8 and are a home underdog is telling.
