Notre Dame are backed to cover the spread as they win again.

The Fighting Irish have issued an emphatic response to their Northern Illinois humiliation and this dominant defense is capable of shutting down the Cavaliers.

Notre Dame are 5-0-0 ATS in their last 5 games
Virginia are 1-3 in their previous 4 games
The Over has cashed in 4 of Notre Dame’s last 5 games

Notre Dame won 28-3 when the two teams last met in November 2021

Virginia Form

Virginia head to South Bend looking to cause another upset, having been Pitt last week to improve to 5-4.

The Cavaliers opened the season with back-to-back wins, including a 31-30 victory at conference rivals Wake Forest.

They then rebounded from a non-conference defeat with a 34-24 win at Coastal Carolina, before downing Boston College 24-14 in ACC action.

Virginia failed to build that though, and lost their next three games as they were beaten 24-20 by Louisville, 48-31 at Clemson and 41-14 by North Carolina.

The Cavaliers avoided a fourth straight loss however, as they upset ranked Pitt on the road last weekend, 24-19.

Notre Dame Form

Notre Dame come into this game riding a seven-game win streak that has taken their record to 8-1.

The Fighting Irish opened with a 20-13 win at Texas A&M, but were stunned a week later as they were upset by Northern Illinois in their home opener, 16-14.

They responded in style though, blowing out Purdue on the road, 66-7, and that proved to be the start of a seven-game tear that resurrected their season.

Notre Dame beat Miami OH 28-3, Louisville 31-24 and Sanford 49-7 at home, before heading to neutral venues to beat Georgia Tech 31-13 and Navy 51-14.

The Fighting Irish then returned home last weekend for a 52-3 demolition of Florida State.

Verdict

Virginia @ Notre Dame

Virginia have proven to be no pushover for ranked teams in recent weeks, but we still like Notre Dame to deliver here.

The Fighting Irish are dominating opponents, especially those from the ACC, so we expect a win and cover for the home team.
