5. Game Decided By Less Than 10 Points

Notre Dame very well could win this game by 20+, but I am predicting a close one. It certainly doesn't hurt Temple's cause that it will be playing at home.

Just remember, the Owls beat Penn State earlier in the year. That counts for more than something.

4. Jahad Thomas Is Held To Under 40 Yards At The Half

Jahad Thomas could end up breaking onto the scene and leading the Owls to a major victory against Notre Dame. Although that could still happen, I am predicting the Fighting Irish to contain the RB in the first half.
