Why Notre Dame can cover
Notre Dame has unfortunately grown accustomed to bouncing back from disappointing performances this season. The Fighting Irish lost to Marshall in Week 2, but they responded with wins over California, North Carolina and then-No. 16 BYU. They are playing their third straight home game on Saturday afternoon, making this a strong scheduling spot.
UNLV has looked terrible in its last two games, getting blown out by San Jose State and Air Force. The Rebels gave up 82 combined points in those contests while scoring just 14 points of their own. Notre Dame is 17-3 in its last 20 home games and has covered the spread in 10 of its last 14 contests.
Why UNLV can cover
Notre Dame cannot be trusted this season, as it has now lost two games as a heavy favorite. The Fighting Irish were 20.5-point favorites against Marshall and were 16.5-point favorites against Stanford, but they came up short in both of those contests. Their offense has been held under 30 points in five of their six games this season, including a 14-point effort against Stanford last week.
UNLV’s offense struggled in its last two games, but it scored 30-plus points in four of its first five outings. In addition, the Rebels have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games played on a Saturday.
