The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 5-1 coming off of the bye and are 7 point favorites over the USC Trojans on Saturday night according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Irish look like they found some things that worked on the offensive side of the ball against Virginia Tech, and now have had two weeks to build on that success as it welcomes its biggest rival to South Bend.
It’s the Battle for the Jeweled Shillelagh, and 4th one in a row in prime time.
It’s week 8!
The One Foot Down staff is just as excited as all of you, and of course we have the staff picks again this year for a big handful of games from all over the country. This week we have 11 different matchups on the slate:

We are once again using Tallysight this year as a staff, but I do encourage all of you to play along in the comments below (you don’t have to pick all the games BUT DO IT).
