Stanford vs Notre Dame Prediction 

Notre Dame lost their first two games of the season and a lot of people wrote them off, but they have won nine straight and are knocking on the door of another CFP appearance. The Fighting Irish have scored at least 34 points in four of their last five games and they have allowed 15 or fewer in four straight. Stanford did get a win over Cal last weekend, but that was mainly due to Cal’s turnover issues. I do think Stanford could show some fight in the first half and I think this is too many points on the road. Take the Cardinal and the points.
