Notre Dame is coming off a bad loss to the Cavaliers in which it was embarrassed at home, but that should be okay heading into today’s game. The Irish have responded well to losses in recent years, going 9-3-1 ATS after a loss since 2015. Georgia Tech may be a little overconfident after such a sizable win over Florida State while the Irish should come in very hungry.
