Why Notre Dame can cover
Notre Dame had its College Football Playoff hopes damaged by a 16-14 loss to Northern Illinois two weeks ago, but it bounced back with an outstanding performance against Purdue. The Fighting Irish handed Purdue its most lopsided loss in school history, racking up 362 rushing yards. They had 278 of those yards in the first two quarters before their starters rested in the second half.
It was also Notre Dame's highest point total since a 66-14 win against New Mexico in 2019, as running back Jeremiyah Love had 11 carries for a career-best 109 yards. Quarterback Riley Leonard added 100 rushing yards and three touchdowns while passing for 112 yards. The Fighting Irish have now covered the spread in five of their last six games dating back to the end of last season. See which team to pick here.
Why Miami OH can cover
As impressive as Notre Dame was last week, its abysmal performance against Northern Illinois two weeks ago cannot be forgotten. The Fighting Irish were 28-point favorites in that game, so it was a similar situation to this game. Miami entered the season with College Football Playoff aspirations as the top Group of Five school, but it has not been able to live up to expectations thus far.
The RedHawks lost to Northwestern by a touchdown before falling to Cincinnati by 11 points last week. They are led by an experienced quarterback in senior Brett Gabbert, who has thrown for 566 yards and two touchdowns. Miami has covered the spread in 11 of its last 15 games, including four of its last five in September. See which team to pick here.
