No. 16 BYU at Notre Dame Odds, Prediction for Week 6

Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

A fun matchup here between two teams that don't belong to any conference on Saturday night. BYU has been pretty disappointing over their last few games after starting out the season on fire and gaining national attention. Last time out, BYU hosted rivals Utah State and won, 38-26, but failed to cover the spread. Through five games, BYU is scoring 34.4 points per game and are gaining 445.4 yards per game, 293.2 through the air and 152.2 on the ground. Defensively, the Cougars are averaging 26.4 points against, and 335.4 yards allowed, 175.6 passing and 159.8 rushing.

Before the win over Utah State, BYU was demolished by a very questionable Oregon Ducks team on the road, so there are serious questions about whether or not the Cougars are legit. That is indicative of the line in this game, with unranked Notre Dame being over a field goal favorite in this game against ranked BYU.

That usually doesn't happen unless the books don't believe in a team, and it is clear they don't have much faith in BYU considering how bad this Irish offense has been overall this season.
