2* Boston College (+12.5)
This Irish Catholic rivalry has persisted for many years through multiple sports regardless of conference affiliation. Now, the teams are locked into annual meetings as members of the ACC. Last year, Notre Dame escaped with victories of 73-69 and 76-73. Tonight’s game figures to be another closely contested rivalry contest. Notre Dame is one of the highest scoring teams in the nation. Following a 77-73 win on this court against Duke on January 28th, the Fighting Irish came flat in a 76-72 upset as 5 point road chalk at Pitt on Saturday. Some might expect a bounce back at home following that defeat. A more savvy handicapper realizes that 15th year Notre Dame HC Brey is just 23-44 ATS at home following a loss, including 1-9 ATS in that role last season. In addition, this has been a poor price point for Brey, who is 23-34 ATS as a favorite of 12 or more points on this court. That works in tandem with the fact that Notre Dame is just 4-13 ATS as home chalk L2Y. Enter Boston College. Under 1st year HC Jim Christian’s tutelage (Kent, TCU, Ohio), the Eagles have soared to a 9-11 SU mark, surpassing their 8 victories of last year. The Eagles have been most resilient following a spread loss this season, posting a 4-0 ATS mark after losing to the impost in their previous game. With Boston College off an embarrassing 64-49 loss at Clemson on Saturday, look for a bounce back as double digit rivalry dog against a Notre Dame team who has proven to be at their least profitable in this role.
