O/U 55
Notre Dame arrives to this match after a disappointing 34-27 loss against USC last week. Jimmy Clausen pushed Southern California to the very last second, but once again fell short in a big game.
Clausen threw 260 yards for 2 TD and no interceptions but lost the battle against QB Matt Barkley who’s got better command of his offense.
Boston College on the other hand crushed North Carolina State 52-20 and RB Montel Harris set two new school records with 264 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns. 
Harris will try to take advantage of an above average Notre Dame rushing defense. Last week the Fighting Irish allowed 121 yards on the ground and a couple of TD.
Also, with Harris at QB, college football betting fans must expect the Eagles to use the Wildcat formation a number of times in the third down conversion.
Of course the key for BC will be stopping one of the best QB in college football. Clausen is not only a Heisman Trophy candidate but a NFL prospect as well. He and his 12th rank passing offense will be looking to outgain a mediocre Eagles defense that allows 212.5 yards in the air.
A potential motivation upside for BC is that they found out Linebacker Mark Herzlich has a tumor in his left leg and players and coaching staff want to dedicate a win over Notre Dame to him.
“His mental approach is one of a competitor,” Notre Dame Charlie Weis said. “Just watching how he approached the news — when I talked to this kid, it was like, ‘I know I’m going to beat it. It isn’t even a question.’
About betting trends, keep in mind Notre Dame is 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games at home and Boston College is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.
College Football Betting Tip: the total has gone OVER in 4 of Boston College’s last 5 games and it has gone OVER in 4 of Notre Dame’s last 5 games
My pick: Notre Dame won’t cover the spread.
