Notre Dame is a 14.5-point home favorite on Saturday according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Irish are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games as a double-digit favorite.
Entering the third quarter in Clemson down 21-3, Notre Dame didn’t go down without a fight. The team clawed back into the game and even scored a touchdown with seven seconds left to earn a chance to tie on a two-point conversion. The conversion fell short though, and the Fighting Irish left South Carolina with a 24-22 loss.
The fourth quarter effort on the road could serve as a valuable experience for sophomore quarterback DeShone Kizer to use moving forward. Notre Dame returns home where it is 6-0 SU and 3-3 ATS in its last three October games per the OddsShark College Football Database.
