Virginia Cavaliers vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish prediction
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have one of their worst teams in recent memory, and their struggling offense isn’t going to break out against this Virginia defense. The Virginia Cavaliers have more offensive bite than they’ve had in past years, and they’ve quietly covered 7 of their 12 games. I just don’t like what I’ve seen from Notre Dame this year. Give me Virginia in a comfortable road win to set ACC play off nicely.
