Notre Dame vs. Clemson: Prediction
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are trying to climb up the AP Poll after already recording two losses. The Clemson Tigers have been struggling to try to get going and coach Dabo Swinney is feeling the heat from outside the program now.
With running back Will Shipley dealing with a concussion, it will be hard to imagine the Tigers having an effective run game, so go with Notre Dame to cover the spread on the road.
Prediction: Notre Dame Fighting Irish -3
