Boston College +10
This may be Frank Spaziani's 1st year as head coach but this isn't his first time facing Notre Dame. Spaziani has been the Defensive Coordinator for BC since 1999. In their two meetings against Weis and the Irish, BC is 2-0 (one on the road and one at home) and have played good D against ND forcing 5 Turnovers last year and 2 the year before. Public is going to be heavy on the Irish at home after a huge loss to USC and now they are getting another shot at home. ND is giving up 10 points to a team that they have failed to beat the last two years. BC hasn't done well on the road this year, but ND hasn't been stellar at home either. ND beat a Washington (an inconsistent road team) by 7 points and allowed 30 points and 281 passing yards. Malcom Floyd is out again this week which is going to hurt the passing attack of ND. ND's defense has been a hologram allowing 25.5 ppg. BC should be able to take advantage of ND's lack of D and if they don't win outright, they should at least cover the spread.
