The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host the Virginia Tech Hokies Saturday afternoon. The bookies have this game as virtually a pick'em, but I think we'll see a big win for the home team. The Hokies are 3-1 straight up on the road road this season, but 1-3 ATS. They're 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games vs. a team with a losing home record and Notre Dame fits the bill as it enters the week with a 3-4 home record.
Notre Dame needs to win its final two games to reach the six wins needed for bowl eligibility, so the home team definitely won't lack motivation. Virginia Tech sits top of ACC Coastal with a 5-2 conference record, but it lost 30-20 as a 14-point favorite against Georgia Tech last week. The Fighting Irish meanwhile are coming in filled with confidence following a 44-6 thrashing of Army as a 14-point favorite, a game where they outgained their opponent 476-242 in total yardage. The team has really stepped up its D lately, conceding an average of 17.6 points in the last five games after giving up 33.4 in the first five of the season.
The Fighting Irish are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and I'm looking for Notre Dame to take this one down.
