The Notre Dame football team finishes their regular season on the road against Stanford, and here are three bold predictions in the matchup.

With a real chance to make it back to the College Football Playoff, the Notre Dame football team will hit the road in Week 13 to take on the Stanford Cardinal. The Irish are one of the hottest teams in college football right now, winning six straight, and holding their opponents without a touchdown in the last three games.

Here, we look at three bold predictions for the regular-season finale.

Notre Dame football at Stanford: 3 bold predictions in Week 13

Jack Coan throws for four touchdowns

Last weekend, the Cardinal allowed nearly 300 yards and two touchdowns against Cal starter Chase Garbers, who was coming off the COVID list in time for the Big Game. In this one, the Cardinal face a much tougher signal-caller in Jack Coan, who is playing as good a quarterback as anybody in the country right now.

In his final regular-season game as the starter in South Bend, in his only season at the helm, I like Coan to go absolutely nuts in this one. I like him hitting Michael Mayer for two scores, Kyren Williams for one, and seeing one of his deep threats haul in a long touchdown early on to give him four touchdown passes in the game.
