Week 11 of the College Football season gets us closer to the precipice of championship weekend. The ACC has a great slate to end the season, including a loaded one this week. A game between Boston College and Notre Dame might not be nationally recognized, but it's important to both teams equally.
Boston College (4-5) is trying to make a bowl game this season. They're already better than the 2-10 disaster they were last year, but after wins against Pitt and Georgia Tech, they've fallen hard. They lost to Duke 47-2 and to Florida State 31-24. The win for the Seminoles marked their first road win in nearly three seasons. Sure, they're better than 2025, but Bill O'Brien is probably still on the hot seat if Boston College goes 5-7 or 4-8.
Notre Dame
(8-1) is trying to win out to make the College Football Playoff. Most of the season, they've stacked up blowout wins against weaker Power 4 opponents, but they finally got a much-needed win against an elite opponent with a 31-24 victory over Miami. With their loss against BYU earlier in the season, that made the game extra important, but Notre Dame still needs to go undefeatd the rest of the season.

Boston College vs. Notre Dame prediction, pick
In another edition of the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl, Notre Dame is once again favored by a lot. The Fighting Irish can't take this matchup lightly, though. They need to make a statement in this game.
Boston College has some upside in the running game; they've actually been better without lead running back Evan Dickens. Mason McKenzie also adds to the running game as well. However, they haven't been able to establish much of a passing offense.
Notre Dame, on the other hand, has one of the best passing offenses in the league. C.J. Carr is a Heisman candidate, and while Boston College has a solid passing defense, Carr and the wide receivers should make a ton of plays in the game.
The Fighting Irish should win this game convincingly. I would probably bet under based on Boston College's strengths, but the Fighting Irish should win pretty easily.
Score Prediction: Notre Dame 38, Boston College 7
Best Bet: Under 52.5
