Notre Dame vs Ohio State Prediction

I was high on Ohio State entering the season, and even mentioned in the first write-up that this team is capable of making the NCAA Tournament. Through three games, the Buckeyes are making me look smart. However, Notre Dame has handled its business as well, and that includes covers in 2 of their 3 games. Burton and Shrewsberry are big time experienced players and they’re off to fabulous starts. I’m not sure the Irish have enough depth to steal this one outright on the road, but this line is a bit disrespectful toward Notre Dame. The Irish can shoot the ball and have guys capable of taking over a game. I’ll grab the points.
