NCAAF - 09-20-2025 - PointSpreadTake Notre Dame
The fight for the Shillelagh Trophy takes place for the 87th time between the in-state rivals. Notre Dame is 58-26-2 SU all-time in the series, including last season’s 66-7 blowout in West Lafayette. Getting this one on their home turf is big for the Irish, who cannot afford to go down 0-3 SU on the year. This is Purdue’s first road game of the season, and they definitely do not have enough firepower to go toe-to-toe with the hosts. They will get stuffed at the line and Notre Dame would do well to try and assert itself in the Purdue backfield. The Boilermakers struggled against a better USC side, while the Irish fared quite well against two ranked opponents. Notre Dame has won the last nine meetings straight up and the last two against the spread.
Take the Fighting Irish giving the points at home.
