Marquette is 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Notre Dame is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.
I get the case to be made for Marquette on the road as this Golden Eagles team I’m still thinking about how they put the boots to Baylor, and I’m still a bit hurt after Notre Dame lost to Syracuse last time out. However, this Irish team is still really good at home and they’re not going to win every game. Marquette’s also had a lot of their success at home, but they’ve struggled on the road going back to last year. I’ll gladly take the free bucket with the Irish at home here.
