Oregon State vs Notre Dame Preview & Picks
Notre Dame are tipped to cover the spread as the win the Sun Bowl.
Oregon State have lost their head coach and QB, and the Fighting Irish have the talent to take advantage even if Sam Hartman sits this one out.
- Notre Dame are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 games
- Notre Dame are 5-1-0 ATS in their 6 games as a double digit favorite
- Oregon State are 1-4-0 ATS in their last 5 games
- The Over has cashed in each of Notre Dame’s last 5 games
Head To Head
- Oregon State lead the all-time series 2-0
- Oregon State won 38-21 when the two teams last met in December 2004
Oregon State Form
Oregon State ended the regular season with back-to-back defeats to finish with an 8-4 record.
The Beavers faced no less than five ranked teams during the campaign, winning two of those games and losing the other three.
Their first defeat to a ranked team came on September 23 when they lost 38-35 at #21 Washington State, but they rebounded a week later to upset #10 Utah, 21-7, at home.
A couple of weeks later Oregon State backed up that victory by getting the better of #18 UCLA, 36-24.
However, that proved to be the final time that the Beavers beat a fellow ranked team in the regular season.
Last month they lost 22-20 to Washington, and on rivalry weekend they were beaten 31-7 by #6 Oregon on the road.
Notre Dame Form
Notre Dame suffered some costly defeats that ended their playoff hopes, ending the season with a 9-3 record.
The Fighting Irish won their first four games, but passed up on the chance to make an impression on the committee when they blew a late lead to lose 17-14 at home to #6 Ohio State.
That was the start of a run of four consecutive games against ranked teams which brought mixed results.
Notre Dame rebounded from the loss to the Buckeyes with a 21-14 win at #17 Duke, only to then lose 33-20 at #25 Louisville a week later.
The Fighting Irish again responded quickly, beating #10 USC 48-20, but a couple of weeks later they suffered their worst defeat of the season, losing 31-23 to unranked Clemson.
They did at least wrap up their schedule on a positive not though, blowing out Wake Forest 45-7 before beating Stanford on the road, 56-23.
Verdict
Sam Hartman’s status is up in the air, but we do know Oregon State will have a new head coach and quarterback.
That is a huge amount of change to undergo less than a month before this game, so we like the chances of Notre Dame winning convincingly.
