Notre Dame vs BYU prediction from the betting odds
A half point off the opener toward BYU is a small move, and the total has not budged. The market is pricing Notre Dame like it has priced it all season, and that matters here because of the streak: Notre Dame has won 16 straight games, every one by double digits. At -10.5 the line sits right on top of that, and a 10-point Notre Dame win is a BYU cover. That half point off 11 is the number to watch if it keeps drifting.
How Notre Dame and BYU got here

Notre Dame: CJ Carr and a streak on the line
CJ Carr accounted for five touchdowns in the 37-26 win at North Carolina. A win by 10 or more on Saturday would make it 17 straight double-digit wins, tying Miami for the second-longest run in the record books. Army holds the record at 21.
BYU: Bachmeier without LJ Martin
Bear Bachmeier went 22 of 30 for 329 yards and ran for 109 more against Iowa State. BYU will be without running back LJ Martin, who hurt his ankle and is expected to miss four to six weeks, so more of the offense runs through the quarterback.
