Cardinal tight end Benjamin Yurosek will miss Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury he suffered last month. Yurosek is sixth on the team in receptions (16) and fourth on the club in receiving yards (239) this year.

Notre Dame vs. Stanford Betting Prediction
This is a rivalry game that’s been a bit more even than you might expect. The Fighting Irish are just 5-5 straight up in their last 10 games against the Cardinal, and Notre Dame is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 against Stanford. The Cardinal actually won this game outright last season in South Bend 16-14. The Cardinal were 16.5-point underdogs in that contest.
Stanford gets this game at home, and they will have an opportunity to salvage their season with a win over Notre Dame in Stanford Stadium on Saturday night. I doubt that Stanford will win this game outright, but all they have to do is keep Notre Dame right around the Fighting Irish’s average scoring margin of +18.4 points per game. Stanford can lose this game 28-10 and still cover the spread. I think that will be the approximate score and the Cardinal will cover the hefty number in the Bay Area on Saturday night.
