Pick

Notre Dame comes into this matchup after struggling through their first two games and they are a pretty big underdog in this one. Auburn did lose a thrilling game to Baylor to start the year, but they bounced back with a nice win in their last game. The Tigers have allowed 88 and 71 points in their first two games and they are only shooting 42.9% from the field, while Notre Dame is at 44.1% from the field. Notre Dame needs to get better quickly if they want to compete this year, but I think they are going to keep this game close. The Auburn defense isn’t great and this is a lot of points. Take Notre Dame here.
