College Football Lines: Utah vs Notre Dame Odds

Notre Dame (4-5) will try to save their season and break .500 on Saturday at 2:30pm EST when they host the #14 Utah Utes (8-1) from Notre Dame Stadium. Online sportsbooks have listed Utah -5 betting favorites on the road in week 11 college football lines vs Notre Dame while the over/under total is set at 54 for the game that can be seen on NBC television. Sportsbooks also favor the Utes -220 in college football odds for week 11 on the money line vs the Fighting Irish +180. While Notre Dame will be trying to save face from a horrible season, Utah will be trying to avenge last week’s loss to TCU which destroyed an otherwise perfect season.

The only positive trend for the Irish heading into Saturday’s match-up is that they are ranked 17th overall in passing yards per game averaging 288.6-yards but other than that… it’s been a disaster for head coach Brian Kelly. Notre Dame was able to string together three consecutive wins in college football odds vs Boston College 31-13, Pittsburgh 23-17 and Western Michigan 44-20 but shortly fell apart again losing their past two games at home. First, Navy stepped on the field at Notre Dame Stadium and embarrassed the Irish 17-35 and then followed that loss up with a 27-28 heartbreak vs Tulsa. Vegas college football lines had listed the Irish as 9.5-point favorites but lost outright instead to fall to 3-4-2 ATS for the season. Now Kelly’s squad most face a team in the top 20 that has pretty much owned anyone they have played this year.

Utah on the other hand almost was looking at an undefeated season heading into week 11 college football lines but instead fell hard at home vs TCU last week 7-47 and snapped a 21-home game winning streak in the process. The Utes had been listed as 4.5-point underdogs in Vegas college football lines but instead got swallowed by the TCU defense to fall to 6-2-1 ATS for the season. “We need to bounce back and put the loss behind us and resume our schedule, said Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham this week. “We still have a chance to have an excellent season.”This will be the first game for the Utes at Notre Dame Stadium where the Irish have gone 55-11-1 vs teams making their first appearance at South bend but with Utah going 5-0 this season on the road and 9-1 overall in college football lines, Utah shouldn’t have any problems with Notre Dame on Saturday.
