The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are coming off their best win of the season and their offense is showing signs of coming together, mainly with a ground game that’s improved. You know the crowd will be out in full force for this one. With all that said, the Clemson Tigers have proven they can win on the road with 4 victories already, and they’ve had an extra week to prepare for this game. Clemson is the more balanced team, with a top-20 scoring offense and a defense that’s seventh against the rush and 22nd in scoring defense. I’d need more points to consider Notre Dame. Give me Clemson and the reasonable chalk.
