Notre Dame will face history — and a massive point spread — when it travels to face Ohio State in Columbus next weekend.

The Fighting Irish are 17-point underdogs to Ohio State as of Sunday afternoon. That line is courtesy of DraftKings and has slowly risen in recent weeks.

It’s rare for Notre Dame to be that big of an underdog — even on the road. It’s only happened 6 times since 2000, according to OddsShark’s betting database. Notre Dame’s last win against the spread in this circumstance came all the way back in 2007.

The Irish were 21-point underdogs against a solid UCLA team. Notre Dame won the game, but couldn’t save its season. The Irish finished that year with a 3-9 record.

Overall, Notre Dame is 2-4 against the spread when it is an underdog by 17+ points on the road since 2000. The most recent example was Notre Dame’s 45-27 loss to USC in November of 2016.

This is a pivotal matchup for Notre Dame, who has College Football Playoff aspirations this season. It’s Year 1 of the Marcus Freeman era and quarterback Tyler Buchner will be making his first career start as well.

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
