Vegas has officially released the betting line for Purdue-Notre Dame and it should come as no surprise that the Fighting Irish are a touchdown favorite.

According to DraftKings, Notre Dame is a 7-point favorite over the Boilermakers and the O/U for points has been set at 59.

The game may be closer than this spread and that’s due to the Fighting Irish struggling against some inferior teams the last couple of weeks. In Week 1, they got taken to overtime by Florida State (who just lost to Jacksonville State on Saturday), and for their last game, the Irish had Toledo take them down to the wire and only won by 3 points (32-29).

Both teams will come in undefeated but ND likely has the edge due to the game being at home and also how Purdue isn’t currently ranked.

The Boilermakers will bring their shutout streak to South Bend as UConn didn’t score a single point on Purdue’s defense this week.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 18.
