Notre Dame at Seton Hall

Notre Dame looks to defend their first Top 25 ranking this season as they stroll in ranked #22 in the nation. They have won 14 of their last 16 games and three in a row. They are putting up 80 ppg and raining 40% of their long-range shots. Luke Harngody is rolling through defenses, putting up 20.4 ppg and 10 rpg. On paper it appears the Pirates have the offense to keep up with Notre Dame, but their defense is so much worse that they won't. They are giving up 77.3 ppg on the season and 81 per game at home. The Irish are 12-3 ATS the past three seasons on the road after failing to cover the spread. They are also 13-5 ATS the past two seasons after posting 3+ straight wins. Many ding the Irish for their 1-2 road record, but that's just not enough games to make a judgement. We instead look to their body of work and peg them as the much better team here.
