Georgia Tech vs Notre Dame Prediction 

Notre Dame comes into this matchup after finding some recent success and they will be at home for this game. The Fighting Irish are coming off of a solid win over Virginia in their last game and they also won their last home game against BC by a score of 78-60. ND is shooting 46.7% from the field and they are a much better team with Burton in the lineup. Georgia Tech did snap their losing streak with a win over Virginia Tech in their last game, but they have allowed 91 and 93 points in their last two road games. The Yellow Jackets are only shooting 44.2% from the field this year and I don’t think they can keep pace with this ND team. Take the Fighting Irish at home.
