Notre Dame vs. Houston Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds for Player's Era Festival

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Houston Cougars will meet for a Thanksgiving Day tip. I hope you all drink extra coffee for tonight's game, which is set to tip at 12:30 am ET.

The Irish pull into this contest following an overtime thriller last night. Notre Dame gave Rutgers everything they could handle, but ultimately came up one point short of a win. The loss pushed the Irish record to 4-2.

There is optimism about this program entering the season. Notre Dame is known as a football school, but this team believes it has enough talent to compete in the ACC this season. The Irish have reached March Madness just once since 2018. They can earn one of their biggest wins in the past few seasons with an upset tonight.

Houston comes into the game with a record of 3-2. Kelvin Sampson's team is currently ranked 6th in the nation, but will drop next week. On paper, few teams have more talent than the Cougars. Houston is well-known for their defensive skills.

The Cougs have consistently been a top defense in college hoops. Tonight, Houston will look to bounce back after losing a thriller against Alabama last night. Houston came back late to force overtime, but the Tide offense was too much to handle in overtime.
