T.M. Selection: Notre Dame.

I like Notre Dame to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Notre Dame has really started to look a lot better in their games lately with impressive performances on both sides of the ball. Their defense has looked great and has not allowed an opposing team to score 7+ points in their previous 3 games. Their offense has also been great as they have put up 28+ points in their previous 6 games. Their offense has actually put up 27+ points in all of their wins this year. Stanford hasn't been having a good year, they showed some good flashes at the beginning of the year but they have gone downhill over their final stretch of games to end the year. They have played 3 games in a row that they lost by 20+ points and 2 of those games were at home. Notre Dame is the 5th ranked team in the country and now that they have gotten rolling it's going to take a lot more than a team like Stanford to give them a run for their money. Notre Dame just shut out the team they faced in their previous game and I think that Stanford will be lucky if they can even score in this game with the way their offense has looked. I think Notre Dame is going to be able to score points at will on them. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 44-7 Notre Dame.
