The Notre Dame Fighting Irish should obviously be comfortable favorites at home, but they haven’t been impressive through 3 games as they’ve allowed subpar teams to hang around, and their defensive effort has been shaky at best. The Lipscomb Bisons have also had covering success dating back to last season. Nobody can like the way Notre Dame looks up to this point. Give me the Bison and the points.
