Cincinnati Bearcats at Notre Dame Fighting Irish: Time, betting odds, how to watch on TV, live stream

The Cincinnati Bearcats will travel to South Bend, Indiana, Saturday to face Notre Dame in a top-10 matchup that could have College Football Playoff implications.

The No. 7 Fighting Irish have appeared to right the ship after a couple of close calls against Florida State and Toledo. Notre Dame beat Wisconsin 41-13 in Chicago last week, but quarterback Jack Coan was injured in the third quarter and has split first-team reps with Drew Pyne this week in practice.

Cincinnati, ranked No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, has had a much less stressful start to its 2021 season, winning with relative ease in each of its first three games. Heisman Trophy candidate Desmond Ridder leads a Bearcat offense that has scored at least 38 points in each game this year.
