The fact that the line is this narrow is surprising given that Miami has won nine straight while Notre Dame has dropped three of four. Burton is expected to be out again, which takes away the Fighting Irish’s leading scorer. Miami has posted a 2-0 mark on the road this season and their two defeats came to Florida and BYU on neutral floors. Notre Dame has dropped their last two games at home, including a three-point loss to Purdue-Fort Wayne right before Christmas. Miami is a much better team than the Mastodons and should come away with their 10th straight victory here.
