Notre Dame is entering this game with a 3-3 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 4th home game of the season as they are 1-2 in their home games this year. They lost against the Stanford Cardinal in their last game at home 16-14. Drew Pyne started that game at QB and he completed 13/27 passes for 151 yards and 1 touchdown.

The current betting odds have Notre Dame listed as a 24 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Notre Dame just suffered a really bad loss at home last week when they lost by 2 points to Stanford. They have not been having a great season as they are barely scraping .500, but they still have a really good defense and they will be out to have a big day after losing at home in their last game. UNLV has been really bad this year, they are 4-3 so far but have only won against a lot of bad teams while getting blown out in their losses. They just got blown out at home by AFA in their last game and this is going to be another game where they are seeing a much better team that is going to be angry over the way they performed in their last game. This is going to be a get right game for Notre Dame while UNLV goes on the road here and gets blown out once again by a team they can't keep up with. The best way to place a bet here is on Notre Dame to cover the spread in this game.

“Disappointed in the way we took care of the ball, offensively. We put ourselves behind the sticks.” - Marcus Arroyo after his team’s loss against AFA in their last game.

 

 

"We weren't running the ball effectively. We also weren't throwing the ball as effectively as we wanted. It wasn't a lack of effort in the game. It wasn't a lack of preparation. But it's not correlating over to the results you want, so you have to look at what you are doing and how you are doing it and figure out a better way to do it." - Marcus Freeman after his team’s loss against Stanford in their last game.
