Newsstand: What is the betting line for Notre Dame vs. Stanford?
Notre Dame wraps up its regular season on the road this weekend, taking on Stanford for the battle of the Legends Trophy. It will be the 37th meeting between the two programs with the Fighting Irish leading the series 22-14. Stanford and Notre Dame first played each other back in 1925.
The Fighting Irish were on a three-game win streak in the rivalry before Stanford — a team that only won three games in 2022 — went into Notre Dame Stadium and was victorious 16-14. The Irish were a 16.5 point favorite in that contest.
And despite the Irish being on the road this year, they’re favored even bigger in this match up. According to OddShark.com, Notre Dame opened as a 24.5 point favorite Sunday, and the line grew to 26 by Monday evening.
The over/under for the matchup is 51.5. OddSharks’s analytics predicts Notre Dame to win 43-15, which would have the Irish covering the spread and the total going over.
Stanford enters the matchup 11th in the Pac-12 with a 1-8 conference record. Its overall record is 3-9.

Quote of the day
“I plan on changing a little bit of the structure. Not the overall how we’re practicing, but maybe the structure and having some more competitive periods early in practice so that it’s just like a game. I don’t want to go through stretch, and then individual and group work and then team. That’s usually how you kind of structure practice. You go from part to whole, right? Individual, group work, team.
“I’m probably going to start with some team good on good situations early in practice just to get them in the right mindset of, ‘Okay, whenever we say go, it’s go.’ I’m gonna try to do that in practice.”
