Analysis
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (ATS) ... Ever since their shocking loss against Northern Illinois in week 2 of this season, Notre Dame has looked dominant. They crushed both Navy & Army (both entered the matchup undefeated,) hammered UVA, GT, FSU, Stanford & Texas A&M. They also beat Louisville by a touchdown. Although it's not the toughest schedule that some teams have had this season, they've made it look easy for the most part. The Irish will now head to Southern California to take on the USC Trojans who barely beat the UCLA Bruins last weekend. Talking about USC, they've already had a QB change this season. I do believe that Jayden Maiava will be a great QB for years to come in the sport of College Football. However, he's not going to be ready for this Irish defense that is top five in passing yards allowed this season. USC have already clinched a bowl game and don't really have all that much to play for other than spoiler. I do think that they will give it their all considering their coach is Lincoln Riley. That being said, they simply don't have the talent to compete this weekend. The Irish are playing like one of the best teams in the country right now and I don't see them having much trouble against a five-loss USC team that lost the last matchup between these teams by a score of 48-20. I've got Notre Dame this Saturday as my #1 CFB GAME OF THE YEAR by more than a touchdown. Score Prediction: 38-17 Notre Dame.
