Notre Dame vs. Clemson Prediction

I’m on Clemson in this game. I’m just out on Notre Dame as a whole, as I think the Irish are a sunken ship that’s just playing out the string at this point. Clemson hasn’t had a lot go wrong in a lot of their recent games, and I think that they’re the better team by a fair margin in this game. This to me feels like a game where Clemson steadily pulls away over the course of the second half for a win and cover in this one, so give me Clemson laying the points here.
