Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Boston College Eagles prediction
The Boston College Eagles are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and I guess they have a talent edge over Notre Dame. This is one of the worst Notre Dame Fighting Irish teams we’ve seen in a while. However, let’s be honest and say both Notre Dame and Boston College are lower tier ACC teams, and I’m not going to lay big numbers with either side. Boston College has lost twice at home already, is just 7-9 ATS on the year, and doesn’t play much defense. If getting involved here, I want the points.
