They failed to keep that run going when they kicked off their ACC schedule though, losing 21-14 to Virginia Tech and 25-16 at SMU.
Boston College finally got off the mark with a 27-21 win over Pitt, and followed that up a week later as they downed Georgia Tech on the road, winning 49-27.
The Eagles have not won since though, losing 47-2 at Duke and falling 31-24 at home to Florida State.
Notre Dame Form
Notre Dame come into this matchup on the back of their biggest win of the season, which took their record to 8-1.
The Fighting Irish opened with a 41-13 blowout of Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, and backed that up with a 52-0 shutout of Rice.
From there they beat Michigan State 27-10 at home, before going out on the road to down Purdue, 49-10, and North Carolina, 37-26.
Notre Dame returned home after that to crush Stanford, 58-7, only to then suffer a 28-24 defeat when they paid a visit to BYU.
The Fighting Irish rebounded immediately though, beating Navy 35-13, and they followed that up last Saturday as they beat bitter rivals Miami, 31-24.
Verdict
Notre Dame are the better team and we fully expect them to follow up last weekend’s huge win over the Hurricanes.
However, the Fighting Irish have not be a reliable spread bet and the Eagles have covered in both of their games as a double digit underdog, so give us the visitors and the free points.
