Oddsmakers from online sportsbook BroburySports.com have made Utah a 5-point favorite over Notre Dame in Week 11. The over/under total for this game is currently 54 points.
After suffering their first loss of the season last week, the Utes are now 8-1 on the year. They’re 6-2-1 against the spread, which includes a 3-1 ATS mark on the road. They’re also 4-0 straight up this year on the road.
The Fighting Irish have struggled in Brian Kelly’s first year, posting a 4-5 overall record and a 2-5-2 record against the spread. They’re 3-3 at home this season but have failed to cover in all six of those games, which includes two pushes.
Our Week 11 Free Pick:
The line seems awfully low for how much trouble Utah’s offense could give to Notre Dame’s defense. The Utes are 5-1 against the number in their last six road games and 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Irish, on the other hand, are 0-2-2 ATS in their last four games overall and just 3-12-2 ATS in their last 17 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Notre Dame is 62nd in points against and 72nd in points for, so it could have all kinds of issues trying to beat a pissed off Utah team looking to get some of its angry out following the loss to TCU. Our pick is Utah minus the points.
