Notre Dame packs their bags for a difficult battle against Stanford this Saturday but the Fighting Irish have enjoyed their trips to Stanford Stadium. Notre Dame is 7-2 ATS in their past nine games visiting the Cardinal.
- The visiting team is 0-4 SU in their last four between Notre Dame and Stanford.
- Running back C.J. Prosise has averaged 36.7 rushing yards in his past three starts.
- Notre Dame is 1-5 ATS in games following a win.
Notre Dame will need to prove some sceptics wrong after last week’s game against Boston College at Fenway Park. The Irish surrendered five turnovers and scored their fewest points of the season against a team that is frankly not very good. A loss in this game and Notre Dame can kiss their playoff dreams goodbye, but a statement win will almost certainly get them in the top four.
Stanford can once again thank Christian McCaffrey for a win last week as the sophomore totalled 389 total yards and two touchdowns. After a mediocre performance in their last loss, Stanford did not seem to trust quarterback Kevin Hogan as he only threw the ball 12 times against Cal.
