Louisville vs. Notre Dame: Prediction

The Louisville Cardinals have been able to cover the spread well this season (3 times) and should continue to do so. Riley Leonard has looked shaky under center this season and the Cardinals can apply pressure and force errors.

Tyler Shough has thrown for multiple touchdowns in each game this season and while the Fighting Irish defense is the best he has faced, Shough should do well. He is an experienced quarterback, playing in games during the 2019 season, and has shown the ability to get into the end zone consistently.

We are taking a bit of a flyer on running back Jeremiyah Love having 25+ receiving yards as well. He has not reached this total in a game this season but is averaging 1.5 receptions per game. With the Notre Dame offense needing a bit of a spark, do not be surprised to see a running back screen be called and get some yardage.

Louisville vs. Notre Dame: Betting tips

Tip 1: Louisville Cardinals +6.5 (-108)

Tip 2: Tyler Shough 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+120)

Tip 3: Jeremiyah Love 25+ Receiving Yards (+285)
