The Irish have had trouble covering the spread in the past and it will happen again. The Irish will win the game this week and it will be based off of the balanced offense and the fact the Irish can stack the box against the run, but the Midshipmen will do enough to keep the Irish from covering. Final Score, Notre Dame wins, but does not cover ATS 34-21.
