The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday afternoon.

In a clash of unbeatens hailing from the State of Indiana, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will welcome the Purdue Boilermakers to South Bend for a mid-afternoon showdown in Week 3.

The Fighting Irish may be the No. 12 team in the land, but they should be thanking their lucky stars for still being undefeated. They nearly lost to the Florida State Seminoles down in Tallahassee in Week 1. Last Saturday saw the Irish be tested by the MAC’s Toledo Rockets for the enjoyment of everyone who has already purchased Peacock. Purdue is 2-0 and is thinking about a huge upset.

Here are the odds and a final score prediction for the game between Purdue and Notre Dame.

Notre Dame vs Purdue Odds Week 3

According to WynnBET, the Fighting Irish will only be laying 7.5 points at home vs. the visiting Boilermakers. The associated moneylines for this game are Notre Dame -325 and Purdue +240. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 58 points. One would think the Irish would be laying more than a touchdown vs. Purdue, but their first two performances do speak volumes.

Notre Dame vs Purdue Prediction Week 3

The Irish are in dire need of a get-right game. Though Purdue will be a tougher challenge than Brian Kelly and his team were expecting, Notre Dame will find a way to win and cover. Look for the offense to be incredibly ground-centric with Kyren Williams leading the way. While Jack Coan will make a few plays, Notre Dame will overlook Purdue a bit with the Wisconsin game looming large.

Prediction: Notre Dame 31, Purdue 21
