College GameDay is in Provo for the first time since 2009 and the stage is perfect. No. 2 Notre Dame is 6-0 and No. 8 BYU is 5-0. Only one unbeaten walks out of LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday night.
Betting angle
Notre Dame -10.5 (-110). The board play. Notre Dame has won 16 straight games and every one of them came by double digits. The Irish allow just 58.3 rushing yards per game and BYU is without running back LJ Martin, who averaged 7.8 yards per carry. CJ Carr gives Notre Dame the steadier quarterback play against Bear Bachmeier and a home crowd. A one dimensional BYU offense against that front is a long night. Lay the 10.5.
