Game Overview
The Boston College Eagles (1-7) will host the No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-2) in a key Week 10 matchup.

- Historically, Notre Dame has dominated matchups against Boston College with several recent convincing victories; this trend continues given the 2025 odds and form.
- Available data does not specify current injuries for either team, but Boston College's poor recent performance could partly relate to limited roster depth or minor injuries not publicly detailed.
