The Cardinal are shooting 45% from the field and they have scored at least 74 points in five straight. Notre Dame picked up a horrible loss to PFW last time out and they are without their best player. The Fighting Irish are shooting 47% from the field and they have scored at least 76 points in four of their last five. I don’t love this Stanford team, but I have to fade Notre Dame after their last game. Take Stanford at home.
