Point Spread: 4.00 | -105.00 Notre Dame (Away)
Result: Win
ND plays with energy and shoots the 3-ball very well. Notre Dame is 15-6 ATS in its last 21 games overall, including 9-3 ATS versus .501 or greater opposition. In contrast, Alabama has been perpetually overvalued as evidenced by the fact that the Tide are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games, 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as favorites and shoot the 3-ball poorly but 48% of their shots are 3's so they force a lot of bad shots. The Tide are also turnover-prone, ranking 268th in the country in that category. Lastly, since 2012, ACC double-digit seeds are 14-6-1 ATS in the NCAA tournament.
