Stanford at Notre Dame

Stanford has a ton of talent on both sides of the line and is getting great value here because of a two-game losing skid. Stanford dropped out of the AP Poll this week, but still received enough votes to be considered #32 in the nation. Stanford is on a 16-6 spread run, including 18-7-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Stanford prefers to control the football and the clock with its ground attack. The Cardinal is 45-22-1 UNDER the total when following a straight-up loss, plus 47-21-1 UNDER after a spread loss. They face a struggling Notre Dame (2-4) squad that ranks #124 nationally in sacks, #92 in rushing offense, #88 in tackles for a loss, #84 in rushing defense, #78 in scoring defense and #75 in both passing defense and total defense. Look for Stanford's defense to bounce back in a big way. The dog has covered four straight in this rivalry and the UNDER is 7-1 when they clash at South Bend. Back Stanford and the UNDER.
