Ian Book and Notre Dame football look to remain undefeated as they take on a struggling Louisville squad on Saturday afternoon from Notre Dame Stadium.

Notre Dame football has been one of the most impressive teams thus far and should have another impressive showing when Brian Kelly’s Fighting Irish host the 1-3 Louisville Cardinals. Louisville has lost three straight after scraping past Western Kentucky in their season opener and Notre Dame will be the best team they’ve faced so far this season. It’s no wonder why Notre Dame is such a prohibitive favorite to win this ACC showdown.

How to watch and how to bet Notre Dame vs. Louisville

Location: Notre Dame, Indiana
Venue: Notre Dame Stadium
Betting Odds: Notre Dame -16.5, O/U: 61.5
TV Info: NBC

Notre Dame is one of the best teams so far this year but they’ve beaten up on the weak competition. The Fighting Irish are winning by an average of 27.3 points per game. That’ll continue this Saturday against a struggling Louisville.

Notre Dame has arguably the best offensive line in the nation and their ground game should do damage against a Louisville run defense, allowing 4.51 yards per carry, which ranks 57th out of 76 teams.

So lay the points and take Notre Dame to win straight up, but since the Irish will do the heavy-lifting with the scoring, I’m taking the under.
