Experts prediction: Notre Dame vs Indiana

Since the home defeat, the Irish team has won ten straight games, and they have done so in a dominant manner. This season, they are 26.3 points ahead of their opponents on average, which puts them top in NCAA football in terms of point difference. The only flaw on the record of a team that is 2nd in the FBS with almost 43 points per game is an ugly loss at Ohio State. But other than that, Indiana is close behind, ranking 3rd nationally in that statistic and finishing about 25 points ahead of its rivals.

According to FanDuel’s lines for the game, Notre Dame will lead Indiana by 7.5 points. Additionally, they established a 51.5-point total for the game. It also offers the money line odds for the Lions to win at -280 and Hoosiers to win by a significant margin at +225.
