3. Notre Dame gets upset win at home

Notre Dame has not had the season that they thought they were going to have. The Irish were ranked No. 10 to start the year and have not even come close to living up to the ranking. Notre Dame’s downfall started as early as the first week of the season, losing to Texas to start the year 47-50.

Notre Dame has also suffered losses to, Michigan State, Duke, NC State, Stanford and Navy. All the while, Notre Dame is still averaging over 30 points a game and DeShone Kizer has played well. On the year, Kizer has thrown for 2,470 yards, 22 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. Virginia Tech comes in on top of the ACC Coastal but also off of a bad 20-30 loss against Georgia Tech.

This feels like a potential trap game for Virginia Tech. They know that they have been having a great season and they know how the Irish’s season has gone and they underestimate how tough it is to play on the road at Notre Dame. Notre Dame should be able to capitalize on that.

Notre Dame has a chance to keep their hopes of making a bowl game alive with a win against Virginia Tech. Kizer will be on top of his game and will put on a show against the Hookies defense. Watch for Kizer to run and throw all over the field and come close to have 500 total yards on his own. Notre Dame walks out winners 35-17.
