The Virginia Tech Hokies are 6-1 SU in their last seven games on the road but have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games away from home. The Hokies hope to pick up another road win facing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday in South Bend.
- Notre Dame is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games in November.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of Notre Dame's last 10 games in Week 12.
- Notre Dame is 24-6 SU in its last 30 games at home.
Virginia Tech's surprising home loss to Georgia Tech as a 14-point favorite was largely overshadowed in a wild weekend of college football. The Hokies have had a decent season at 7-3 SU and 4-5 ATS, but they've left plenty to be desired with two losses as favorites of two touchdowns or more. At 9-1 in the ACC, the Hokies could have been firmly in the playoff conversation.
Notre Dame came into the season expected to be in the playoff conversation but has instead stumbled to a 4-6 SU and ATS record in 2016.
The Fighting Irish had won at least eight games in each of their first six seasons under Brian Kelly, but they now find themselves in serious danger of failing to become bowl-eligible with this game and a road game against USC remaining.
