The Stanford Cardinal are 7.5-point underdogs heading into their matchup with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday in South Bend. The line opened with No. 7 Notre Dame favored by 7 points, but has shifted to 7.5 at various sportsbooks.
No. 17 Stanford (4-1, 2-1 Pac-12) is coming off an overtime win in a 54-48 shootout with Pac-12 rival Arizona, and are looking to knock off their second Top 10 opponent of the year. The Cardinal downed the then-No. 2 USC Trojans on Sept. 15.
