Notre Dame vs Boston College College Football Predictions: The Fighting Irish (5-3) took the loss in OT last week losing to Pittsburgh 36-33. QB Jimmy Clausen was 23-of-44 passing for 271 yards with no interceptions. For the Irish it was their third loss to teams with winning records this season, leaving the Irish 0-9 against quality opponents since beating No. 19 Penn State 41-17 in the second game of the 2006 season. I grew so tired of ND being ranked above other teams with better records because of their 'mystique'. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently list Boston College -3.5 favorites to Notre Dame heading into this matchup.

"To sum it up, we get in overtime, you don't score touchdowns, you know sooner or later something bad can happen," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said.  

The Eagles are (5-3) also coming off a loss last week to Clemson 27-21. QB Chris Crane is proving not to be the answer for BC and in Boston sports parlance, Matt Ryan’s not walking through that door. On the season Crane has thrown 8 TD's and 12 INT's with a Comp. Pct of 56.1. My question: when is BC going to get a coach that can handle the job and not make excuses. The online sports betting odds at Bodoglife.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Notre Dame vs Boston College game is set at 45 points.

College Football Predictions: Notre Dame definitely lost that game on their own last week.  I don't care if it was an NFL defense on the field, there's no reason as to why Notre Dame could only get 7 offensive yards in the 3rd quarter. This game is a great rivalry in the battle of the Catholic schools and both teams will have Jesus on there side in this game so I guess whoever wins does the most praying. Road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Underdog is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
