Florida State vs Notre Dame Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back either Notre Dame or Florida State, two average-at-best ACC teams that don’t bring any consistency to the table. With that said, Florida State is at home where eight of its 13 wins have come, while Notre Dame has lost six of its eight road games. There should also be extra motivation with the recent news of Leonard Hamilton retiring after this season. I’m sure guys want to win as much as they can for the coach who has been with Florida State for the last two decades. We’re only laying a bucket. I have to lean toward Florida State.
