The Fighting Irish are gunning for their first 4-0 ACC start, and I like their chances at Miami. In my simulations, Notre Dame gets it done 44 percent of the time, making this money line attractive. It's daunting that Miami has won 21 straight at home, but this is an experienced and efficient Irish team that won't be intimidated at all by the atmosphere.
Miami has dominated this series lately, and swept this series from the Irish last year in ACC play. I think the Hurricanes are in a strong position to take down the Irish again Thursday, as they are in a bounce-back spot coming off a poor performance and Larranaga is an expert motivator. Notre Dame could be in a letdown spot after a series of taxing games, and the more physical Hurricanes will pull away in the second half.
