This is a 10* ACC GAME OF THE YEAR on Notre Dame.

I like the 3-3 Irish to bounce back from their 82-72 loss to Illinois on Monday and get the better of the 5-3 Golden Eagles, who enter on a two-game win streak, most recently beating USF 64-49 at home.

Notre Dame is getting good defensive play, despite allowing the 82 points last time out, conceding only 65.7 PPG. Keep your eyes on Dane Goodwin, who is averaging 15 poitns and 5.7 boards per game.

Demarr Langford Jr. leads the way for Boston College with 12.4 points and five boards per game. Overall BC is allowing 60.1 PPG.

There are many factors to consider when looking at these two teams. Why are the Irish the favorites on the road in this hostile environment?

Despite a loss to Illinois last time out, Notre Dame is the deeper and more experienced team. Strength of schedule for each side to this point has to be considered as well.

Look for NOTRE DAME to come focussed and to finally earn its first ATS victory of the season.

Good luck, NP
