The only win during that stretch was in their last game against Notre Dame, a game they won by ten points. Notre Dame on the season is averaging 73 points per game while their defense is giving up 73.1 points per game. At times the defense has been super inconsistent and they need to be more consistent on that side of the ball. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up.

The over is 9-4 in Wake Forest’s last 13 games played on Tuesday. Notre Dame is 7-1-1 against the spread in their last nine games played on Tuesday. Wake Forest is 2-7 against the spread in their last nine meetings against Notre Dame.
Wake has struggled the last couple of years against Notre Dame and that isn’t going to change in this game. Look for Notre Dame’s offense to be the difference and that will be the difference as they come away with a victory.
