ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to take a stab on Notre Dame. I was going to lean Georgia Tech here, but they’ve had a rough run lately. The Yellow Jackets haven’t been able to score more than 66 points in any of their last seven games, and they’ve lost nine in a row in total. Notre Dame hasn’t exactly been tearing it up in the win column themselves, but they’ve been able to score 71 or more points in six of the last seven. We should have a pretty good matchup here, and I think the Irish can power out a cover/win if they play well. Notre Dame took a 73-72 win at home the last time these teams met up so this one should also be close.
