Syracuse vs. Notre Dame Betting Preview: Irish Defense Will Stop Cuse in Its Tracks

Syracuse Orange vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-9.5)

Sat. 11/16, 2:30 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium

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

1. With a perfect 10-0 record (5-4-1 against the spread), Notre Dame is almost assured a spot in the College Football Playoff if it can win its final two regular season games against Syracuse and USC. The first of those matchups will come this Saturday afternoon against the Orange at Yankee Stadium as part of Notre Dame's Shamrock Series, a near-annual game (it skipped last year) in which the Fighting Irish play a "home" game at a neutral field such as AT&T Stadium in Dallas or Fenway Park in Boston.
