The Pick
Now that they’re ranked in the top 4 of the college football playoff, Notre Dame controls its own destiny from here on out. The Irish have a huge test coming up at the end of the season when they take on Stanford but for now, this isn’t a look ahead spot with Boston College on deck. Wake Forest has a decent defense, allowing just 184.2 yards per game through the air this season (20th in the nation), but the Demon Deacons have had major issues moving the ball offensively. Wake is 113th in the country in total yards per game (340.6), 121st in rushing yards per game (110.7), and 116th in points scored (18.7). There’s always a threat of being back-doored by taking a heavy favorite, but Notre Dame is still the play here.
