Before making any Syracuse vs. Notre Dame picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated more than $1,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows Notre Dame senior forward Nate Laszewski is the main contributor on the squad thus far. Laszewski is a tall, mobile big man who can space the floor. The Florida native owns a nice shooting stroke and is connecting on 43% of his 3-point attempts. Laszewski also leads the team in points (16.9) and rebounds (8.6). 

The model also knows Syracuse senior center Jesse Edwards is making his presence felt in the paint. Edwards owns great size (6-foot-11, 230 pounds) and understands positioning/leverage. The Netherlands native has a soft touch around the rim and can win in the post. Edwards is averaging 13.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, and shoots 61% from the field. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Syracuse vs. Notre Dame. It is leaning Over on the total and it also says one side of the spread hits in over 50% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college basketball picks.
