Betting on the BYU Cougars
The BYU Cougars proved that one slip-up is not a fall, and after a 41-20 loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 3the team has managed to recover to win its next two consecutive games with the latest being a 38-26 win over Utah State in their Week 5 matchup.
Their quarterback Jaren Hall continues to be the brightest spotlight, as the junior has thrown a total of seven touchdown passes in his last two appearances and only one pass has been intercepted in the entire regular season and could play a key role in this new Cougars clash.
Betting on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Notre Dame has turned things around after starting the regular season with back-to-back losses to Ohio State and Marshall, the team has managed to solve its problems to win 24-17 over California in Week 3 and 45-32 over North Carolina in Week 4, and will come in fresh after not seeing action in Week 5.
In fact, the match against North Carolina was the Fighting Irish’s best performance to date. They totaled 35 first downs and accumulated a 38:13 minute possession during which they racked up 576 total yards, and while a repeat performance against BYU will be difficult, they will be well rested to try.
JefeBet Prediction
It looks unlikely that Notre Dame can replicate the Week 4 performance, but if they have a chance to pull out a win in this game it is surely because of their defense, which has allowed an average of 24 points per game this season and limited Ohio State, one of the best teams in the nation, to just 21 points.
While they usually excel against lower-ranked teams, BYU’s offense has not been at the same level when facing big-name opponents, scoring 20 points against Oregon and 26 against Baylor, and will again face a big-name opponent.
We believe that this clash could have few points. In addition, we have the precedent of the last meeting between the two universities, which was 23-13 in favor of Notre Dame.
Prediction: Under (BYU 26 – ND 20)
