Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Boston College Eagles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/01/25

Piggy-backing off the point spread play, the question here is simple — is there a realistic pathway for this total to go over? For that to happen, Notre Dame would either need to completely blank Boston College and still push near 50 points themselves, or this game would have to turn into an unlikely shootout. Neither scenario seems particularly plausible.

As mentioned in the point spread play, Notre Dame’s ambitions are greater than this contest. This looks more like a tune-up than a statement game. The Irish aren’t likely to push tempo or risk injury just to pad the scoreboard. On the flip side, Boston College will bring their best but how much of that turns into scoring when the Irish depth chart gets emptied? Sure, the Eagles may get a couple of junk-time scores but if they stay within range of covering, we are likely going Under while doing so.

And even if Notre Dame dominates the stat sheet, it’s hard to see this turning into a high-scoring affair. The Irish defense is strong enough to limit Boston College’s output, while their own offense figures to downshift once the outcome is no longer in doubt.

The numbers don’t add up to a shootout here. The spot situationally speaking sets up to where the Under cashes comfortably.
