The BYU Cougars (4-1) meet the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (2-2) Saturday in Las Vegas with kickoff from Allegiant Stadium slated for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we look at BYU vs. Notre Dame odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.
Notre Dame has gotten off to a rocky start after being No. 5 in the preseason rankings. After a tough 21-10 loss to Ohio State in Week 1, the Irish were upset at home 26-21 by Marshall. Notre Dame has rallied with 2 straight wins — 24-17 vs. California and 45-32 vs. North Carolina.
BYU started strong with a 50-21 win in Week 1 over South Florida and a 26-20 double-overtime win in Week 2 vs. then-No. 9 Baylor. However, that strong start was halted in a 41-20 Week 3 blowout loss to then-No. 25 Oregon. Since the loss, BYU has won 2 straight — 38-24 vs. Wyoming and 38-26 vs. Utah State.
BYU is No. 16 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

BYU vs. Notre Dame head-to-head
The Cougars are expected to lose this game if you listen to oddsmakers and ESPN, but I disagree. The Cougars are scoring a whopping 34.4 points per game to Notre Dame’s 25 and they are only allowing 2 more points per game than Notre Dame. BYU comes into this game as the ranked team, but also the underdog, and because of that I would feel very safe betting on the Cougars moneyline in this game.
BYU QB Jaren Hall has thrown for 1,438 yard and 12 TDs and only 1 INT. He is playing alongside talented RB Cristopher Brooks and star WR Keanu Hill. They are often beating opponents by 2-plus scores and I don’t see this Notre Dame team, which hasn’t played quality competition outside of Ohio State, being able to contain this offense for the full game.
