At this moment, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in position to be part of the four-team college football playoff. But there is still some work to do; one of the assignments is to get by a losing team that actually has the highest-rated defense, on a statistical basis, in college football. We are talking about the Boston College Eagles, who clash with the Irish on Saturday from the rather unusual venue of Fenway Park in Boston. The action will begin at 7:30 PM ET, and Vietbet customers will have the opportunity to continue wagering all night long as they take advantage of what Live Betting Extra has to offer.

No, we were not lying about Boston College and their defensive prowess. They are ranked #1 in the country, giving up only 236.5 yards per game and only 3.9 yards per play. Boston College is the only sub .500 team to be ranked among the top 15 defensive squads. Only eleven touchdowns have been scored against them this season.
Can Notre Dame challenge something like that? Well, they need to have at least some success against the Eagles, because they are currently ranked fourth for the eventual football playoff, which means that if the season ended today they would be in. But they still have to play against Stanford, which always provides a formidable opposition. Notre Dame is #5 in both major polls – the Associated Press rankings and the USA Today Coaches poll.

Notre Dame, as most people know, will be doing its business with a freshman quarterback. Deshone Kizer filled in for the injured Malik Zaire early in the schedule and he has been more than credible, completing 66% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and just six interceptions.
And they have gotten sensational service at of CJ Prosise, the running back who had to come in and replace the injured starter, Tarean Folston. Prosise will likely top the 1000-yard mark in this game, and has averaged 6.6 yards per carry. He suffered a concussion against Pittsburgh, and then was held out of last week’s game against Wake Forest, as a precaution. Boston College, which allows just 2.1 yards per rushing attempt, will offer a stiff challenge to him. But he is fresh.

What some Vietbet customers may not be aware of is that even though this game is being played in Boston, Notre Dame is the team that will have many more fans in attendance. That is because they control the ticket allotment, inasmuch as this is one of those TV “specials.” Boston College, playing in its own hometown, will only get 5000 tickets. So this is one of those unique situations where the visiting team is actually supported by a home crowd. Well, maybe not al that unusual with Notre Dame.
There may not be more than a handful of offensive units in the country more ineffective than that of the Eagles, who have scored 73 points in eight games against FBS opposition. They have not exceeded 17 points in any game against a Division I foe, and they have reached 200 yards on the ground only once. By the same token, no team has rushed for more than 139 yards against them.
