Notre Dame VS Penn State
Notre Dame -1.5
-110

Riley Leonard's has showcased his duality in his first two CFP appearances. Whether his favorite weapon, Jeremiyah Love, is available or not -- the quarterback is honing his passing and rushing attack. 

Penn State struggled against Ohio State, the top passing defense in the nation, in Week 10. Unfortunately for Drew Allar, the Irish are also a top nationally ranked passing defense. 

The Irish have covered 10-straight spreads, all of which featured them as the favorites. I like the balance of Notre Dame's bench.
