Best Notre Dame vs. BYU SGP & parlay picks
Under 46.5 (-108)
Both Notre Dame and BYU rank among the top 10 scoring defenses in FBS, with the Irish allowing just 11.0 points per game. BYU gives up 15.0 PPG, lending to the potential for a rock fight.
Though both offenses rank among the top 25 in adjusted defensive efficiency per FPI, each side possesses a better defensive ranking than it does offensively. Notre Dame boasts the top adjusted defensive efficiency in the nation.
All three of BYU’s Power Four games have fallen below 46.5 total points.
BYU +10.5 (-110)
Slowing down the explosive Notre Dame offense is the challenge in keeping this game as a low-scoring affair, but I believe the Cougars are equipped to do it with the home crowd behind them. BYU is 5-0 against the spread this season.
If you’re giving me 10.5 points of cushion, I have a hard time betting against a home team with that degree of ATS credentials. Notre Dame hasn’t had to show it against premier competition yet, so the potential for the rugged environment to slow the Irish a bit could keep the Cougars in range in this one.
Bear Bachmeier 38+ rushing yards (-119)
While it’s necessary to respect the third-ranked Notre Dame defense, the Cougars have a difference-maker at quarterback that can take advantage of the prove-it nature of this game environment to perform with his legs.
Bear Bachmeier has racked up rushing outputs of 66 and 109 yards in his past two games, and should be looking to leave it all on the field in this showcase opportunity.
FanDuel offers a slightly more attainable line at 36.5 rushing yards, but the overall parlay odds are superior at DraftKings (+455 vs. +425).
