ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m leaning Notre Dame here but probably staying away. You could make a case for either team in this matchup. The Irish are on a rough run lately, going just 1-6 over the last seven outings. Notre Dame is still putting up some pretty decent offensive numbers though, with 68 or more points in six of those seven games. Virginia Tech is doing better lately themselves, going 3-2 over their last five with 68 or more points in each of those outings. At home I like the Irish slightly better cover-wise, but this should be a good game.
