Notre Dame Vs Northwestern Spread
The 8-0 Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel to Ryan Field in Evanston, Illinois to face what is one of the biggest remaining roadblocks to a perfect season in the Northwestern Wildcats.
Notre Dame at Northwestern Gambling Odds and Best Pick By Kurt Boyer on October 29, 2018 The week of the Notre Dame vs Navy contest in San Diego, a Fighting Irish blogger posted an “original, unique” article (copy/pasted from about 200,000 other blogs) dishing the opinion that Navy is a “worthless” opponent for Notre Dame to keep on the.

Notre Dame beat Navy 44-22 in their last game to keep their record perfect while Northwestern has racked up four straight victories including a 31-17 win over Wisconsin in their last outing.
With the way the 2018 NCAA Football season has played out, it seems that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are destined to make the playoffs and finish with a perfect season. But as the schedule winds down, there are a couple of tricky matchups that lie ahead for them. One is the now-ranked 19th Syracuse and the other is Northwestern, has slayed a pair of ranked teams in the last playing month. However, if the Irish can get their offense going, they are going to be hard to stop.
Quarterback Ian Book has been doing a great job for the Irish. Since taking over the starting QB role, Books has thrown for at least two touchdowns per game. In five games plus, Book has completed 76.5% of his passes for 1,481 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Playing Good Defense Lately
In their last game against the injury riddled Wisconsin Badgers, senior Clayton Thorson completed just 17 passes, threw for just a total of 167 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. But still, the Wildcats managed to get a 31-17 win because while Thorson struggled, his defense picked up the slack for him. It’s this defense of the Wildcats that worries some Notre Dame backers heading to Saturday’s contest.
Northwestern has been in the middle of the pack all season long in terms of yards allowed and points allowed. But in the last two weeks, the Wildcats defense has been very good as they have allowed an average of 255.5 yards and 16 points per game. The Wildcats, who are on a four game win streak, have also caused four fumbles and two interceptions in their last three games.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, 3-0 SU on the road this season and 11-4 SU in their last 15 games against the Big 10. The Northwestern Wildcats are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games at home and 13-3 SU in their last 16 games overall.
The Fighting Irish have a legit shot at finishing the season unbeaten. They only have to finish strong and they know that. With that perfect season in mind, you bet that Notre Dame will be more ready and focused here than they have been all year long.
Northwestern has defeated two ranked teams in the last four weeks and they will surely not be intimidated by the Fighting Irish nor their record. But when the book on this game will be written, I think it will boil down to Notre Dame’s passing, Dexter Williams having a big game and Ian Book taking over.
We’re picking the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to beat the Northwestern Wildcats on 11/3/18.
Both teams are 4-4 ATS in their respective 8 games played this season. Notre Dame is 2-1 ATS in their three road games this season while Northwestern is 2-3 ATS at home this season. The Fighting Irish are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after winning their previous game by at least 20 points and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after running for 200+ yards in their previous game. The Wildcats are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games after a victory and are only 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games.
Notre Dame vs Northwestern 11/3/18
Spread Odds: Notre Dame -9.5 (-115), +9.5 (-105)
Odds from Sportsbetting.ag as of 10/31/18
Notre Dame has a good chance of finishing the season unbeaten but against the spread, they have not been as special. The Fighting Irish are unbeaten SU in their last dozen games as favorites of at least 7 points but are 0-6 SU in their last six games when favored by at least seven points. But between the Fight Irish’s struggles against the spread and the Wildcats’ inability to take care of the football, I’m more worried about the latter.
Thorson threw three interception against Wisconsin. He also got picked off twice against Michigan State and another two against Akron. Northwestern’s interceptions against elite defenses are documented and considering that Notre Dame is arguably the best defense they will face so far, I’m thinking turnovers which Notre Dame is going to capitalize on and score. Having said that, I think it should be at least a double digit win for the Irish.
Prediction: Notre Dame -9.5
The over is 4-1 in Notre Dame’s last five games played and the over is also 4-1 in the Fighting Irish last five road games. On the other hand, the under is 40-12-11 in the last 53 games played by the Wildcats.
Notre Dame vs Northwestern 11/3/18
Over/Under Odds: Over 53.5 -110, Under 53.5 -110
Odds from Sportsbetting.ag as of 10/31/18
The Fighting Irish have averaged 40.4 points in their last five games and when they have their offense going, it’s really hard to stop them. I think the Irish are going to score a lot of points here but the Wildcats are going to give them a good fight. I think Notre Dame scores 40 and the Northwestern gets in at least two scores to cover the total.
Prediction: Over 53.5

Alabama vs. Notre Dame: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Alabama 37, Notre Dame 21
Money line (ML)
PASS. Alabama (-1400) will advance to the Championship Game, but there’s no way you should risk 14 times your potential investment.
Against the spread (ATS)
NOTRE DAME +20 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Kelly will have the Irish ready to play, and QB Book is too good of a leader to allow the Irish to get embarrassed. Sure, they didn’t look good in the ACC title game, but Clemson had a little bit extra motivation, looking to avenge the regular-season loss.
The Irish will have the “motivation” factor working for them in this one.
ATS records: Alabama 8-3 Notre Dame 5-6
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 65.5 (-105) is the play. It’s no secret that Alabama is a juggernaut on offense. It ranks second in scoring (49.7 PPG) and fifth in total yards (543.9 YPG), but the Irish defense will be the best the Crimson Tide face this season. The Irish D allowed just 18.6 PPG. The Tide will score, but don’t expect them to put up 40 points.
O/U records: Alabama 7-4 Notre Dame 6-5
