Clemson Tigers at Notre Dame Fighting Irish Prediction

Notre Dame came up with a big one on Wednesday night knocking off the Cardinals 77-70 as a -1.5 point spread favorite for their fourth straight win and ran their undefeated streak at home to 10 games. The spread cover was their first in five games after starting the season 4-0 ATS. Clemson could go either way after their heartbreaking two point loss to UNC on Tuesday, but I think they use it to rebound here. The Tigers have won and covered both of their road tilts this season and the public is feeling all warm and fuzzy about the Irish driving the line to 5.5 points giving us the value we need to back the visitor.
