Stanford vs. Notre Dame Betting Preview: New-Look Irish Offense Ready to Roll

Stanford at Notre Dame (-5.5)

Sat. 9/29, 7:30 p.m. ET

Three things to know before betting on Stanford-Notre Dame:

1. If you haven't watched Notre Dame play since their season-opening 24-17 win over Michigan, get ready to see an entirely new Irish offense on Saturday. That Michigan victory was a best-case scenario for then-starting quarterback Brandon Wimbush, who completed passes deep down the field against a great defense and picked up 59 yards on the ground. But in subsequent weeks, Wimbush's inaccuracy as a passer caught up with Notre Dame in wins over inferior Ball State and Vanderbilt that were way closer than they should have been.
