Notre Dame football vs BYU: Best Bets for the Irish in Week 6
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team heads to Las Vegas to take on BYU in Week 6, and here are the best bets you can lay on the Irish in this one.
Coming out of their bye week, the Notre Dame football team will take on the BYU Cougars on Saturday night inside Allegiant Stadium. In their last time out, the Irish got their biggest win of the season, going into Kenan Stadium and beating a very good UNC Tar Heels football team on the road.
Now, the Irish will look to make another statement, but against a ranked team this time, as the BYU Cougars are the No. 16-ranked team in the country going into this one. The Irish have looked strong since a weak start vs Cal a few weeks ago, so I would not count them out in this one.
Best Notre Dame football Bets Week 6
This is going to be a solid matchup inside Allegiant Stadium on Saturday night, and it is really a game that the experts are split on. BYU has looked good all season long, beating Baylor early in the season, but they do have a bad loss to Oregon on their resume as well.
Notre Dame football, on the other hand, got off to a terrible start and has been clawing their way back to respectability this season. In this one, I like the Irish to continue to trend in the right direction, leaning on a strong run game to get it done.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Irish are giving the Cougars 3.5 points in this one, and I like those odds. I also like these two teams to battle it out for points on Saturday night, so going with the under on the 50.5 mark could be the way to go.
My prediction is a 24-20 victory for the Irish, so go with the points and the under in this one.
