Virginia Tech vs Notre Dame Prediction & Pick

It's easy to fade Notre Dame due to its recent poor play. For starters, the Fighting Irish are only averaging 64.8 points over their last five games, being held to fewer than 60 in three of those contests. The defense hasn't been great either, proven by their 84.0 PPG allowed over the last two outings.

I don't expect Notre Dame's luck to change. After all, Virginia Tech has held each of its last opponents to 60 or fewer points and is coming off an 82-point showing against Florida State.

Notre Dame has also dropped five straight contests to Virginia Tech, including a 93-87 loss less than a month ago. Considering how the Hokies defeated the Fighting Irish by an average of 8.8 points over that five-game span, I don't like Notre Dame's chances of keeping things close.

Final Score Prediction: Virginia Tech: 79 | Notre Dame: 68

Virginia Tech vs Notre Dame Best Bet

For tonight's best bet, I'm going with the total going over 143.5 points. After combining for 180 points in their first matchup of the season, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame have now hit the over in four of their last five clashes. Furthermore, they've finished with over 143.5 points in each of their last three meetings.

With the Fighting Irish allowing a lot of points lately and the Hokies coming off an impressive offensive performance in their last outing, expect a solid amount of offense in this ACC Tournament battle.

Bet: Over 143.5 Points (-110)
