Georgetown vs Notre Dame Betting Prediction

This is not one of my favorite plays on the board. Notre Dame on the season is averaging only 64.2 points and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Georgetown on the season is averaging 77.1 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Notre Dame’s offense might get over the season average, but it won’t be enough for them to get the job done. Back Georgetown against the spread.
