Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. #5 Duke Blue Devils - Notre Dame

“It’s not the logical pick. It likely won’t be the right pick. But for this game, I’m going with my heart over my head. I’ll believe that the Irish will rise to the occasion when it matters most. Note Dame needs this win to help their odds with the NCAA Tournament, and I’ll pick them to get it.“

Jeff Czerniakowski, Staff Writer (18-9 ND Games) (84-47 Bonus Picks)

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. #5 Duke Blue Devils - Duke

“Notre Dame will be playing their 3rd straight game and I expect them to be out of gas once the second half starts. I would love to see a well rested, healthy Irish team get to play Duke, but the Blue Devils are too strong for a winded team.“

Ryan Chichester, Staff Writer (19-6 ND Games) (72-49 Bonus Picks)

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. #5 Duke Blue Devils - Duke

“Notre Dame looked gassed for a good amount of the Va Tech game. After an incredibly emotional comeback, they’re likely even more gassed. A rested Duke squad outlasts the Irish in a hard-fought game that eventually seals the Irish a March Madness spot, where they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.”

Ryan Kelley, Staff Writer (11-4 ND Games) (47-27 Bonus Picks)

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. #5 Duke Blue Devils - Duke

“I’m trying so hard to make one last irrational pick in favor of Notre Dame... but I can’t bring myself to do it this time. The Fighting Irish are playing their third game in as many days. Duke won 6 of their last 7 games and ended their season with a win against UNC. Plus Duke is just ridiculously talented. I will be very pleasantly surprised if Notre Dame pulls this one off.”
