Miami faces an old rival in a exhibition for their new coach Al Golden to see what he has…

2010 ACC Pick’Em (71-29 so far on the season)

  • 12/31/10 – Miami Hurricanes vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish / CBS / 2 ET

Must-See Matchup, Miami offense vs. ND Defense: ‘Canes rushing game vs. ND rushing D

The Hurricanes have so many options at RB, but often misuse them – will they find holes and stick with the run on a middle of the pack rush defense?

Must-See Matchup, ND offense vs. Miami Defense: Freshman QB Rees vs. Miami secondary

The Hurricanes have the no. 2 pass defense in the country and have 16 INTs on the season – Rees had over 2,000 yards passing once he took over at QB with 15 TDs and 7 INTs while guiding Notre Dame to a strong finish.

Watch 4: Irish to capitalize on Miami offensive inefficiencies and score enough to win.

I just don’t trust Miami. Notre Dame comes in underrated for a change and have a more impressive resume than the ‘Canes – Kelly’s Irish pull it out.

The Pick: Irish 24 Canes 20

ATS Section (44-42-1 to date)

We’re 2-1 straight up, but 1-2 ATS in ACC bowls…

  • Notre Dame and under 2.5 vs. Miami

Take to Bank %: 15%

I like how the Irish finished out the season and they have a chance to make a statement in El Paso Friday.
