Notre Dame vs. Louisville odds, preview and prediction: (Notre Dame -6.5)
Louisville and Notre Dame have one common opponent, North Carolina State. Louisville and Notre Dame beat the Wolfpack on the road: Louisville by 13-10; Notre Dame by 45-24.
Notre Dame has won 30 consecutive games against ACC teams. The Irish are coming off a 21-14 win at Duke. Notre Dame had to drive 95 yards in the final 2:35 to pull out the victory. Notre Dame’s loss was to No. 4 Ohio State on a last-second touchdown.
The Irish were without top receivers Jaden Greathouse and Jayden Thomas against Duke. Both are expected to play vs. Louisville.
Louisville quarterback Jack Plummer has touchdown passes in seven consecutive games and 11 TD passes this season. He is the reason the Cardinals’ offense moves the ball.
Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman has the program record of 145 pass attempts without an interception. His passing prowess and Audric Estime’s running make the Irish offense click.
This could be a trap game for Notre Dame, which plays host to undefeated rival USC next week. But it’s hard to imagine overlooking an undefeated, ranked Louisville team. Expect Notre Dame to be focused and with enough weapons to win and cover against the Cardinals. The total is 54. The Under looks like a safe play.
