Newsstand: What is the spread for the Notre Dame vs. Virginia game?

Vegas likes the Notre Dame football program to beat an ACC team in its home regular-season finale by multiple touchdowns once again.

Circa Sports released its opening lines for Week 12 of the College Football on Sunday. The No. 8 Fighting Irish (8-1) opened as a 21-point favorite over Virginia (5-4) for Saturday’s game. The over/under points total is 50½.

The Irish have dominated the spread this season, going 7-2 and achieving wins in their last five games. The “over” has hit in five games, including four of the last five.

Virginia is similarly successful against the spread, covering in six of nine games. The points total has only gone “over” three times, including only once in its last five outings.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET. NBC will have television coverage.

Notre Dame Quote of the Weekend

“I thought their quarterback did a really nice job extending plays. We knew coming into the game he was a talented runner. There were times when he hurt us with his legs, then obviously they were able to hit some big plays in the passing game.”

— Florida State coach Mike Norvell on Irish senior quarterback Riley Leonard.
