Miami at Notre Dame: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Notre Dame 74, Miami 65
Money line (ML)
Notre Dame (-360) will cost you more than three and a half times your potential return, and while the Irish have been playing much better basketball, it’s still a bad bet.
AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)
NOTRE DAME -7.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit bet laying nearly four buckets against Miami. That’s a little much considering the Irish are a sub-.500 team, but they have shown signs of life lately.
Notre Dame covered in six of its past seven games and stomped Miami in their first meeting this season. Roll with the Irish on their home floor against the Canes.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 140.5 (-110) is the lean, although go really, really small. The Under hit in four of the past six for Notre Dame, although the teams combined for 182 total points last time out against Duke.
The total numbers are identical for Miami, cashing the Under in four of the past six, including the first meeting between these teams in Miami Jan. 24.
