CFP championship game: Dick Vitale gives prediction for Ohio State vs. Notre Dame

Dick Vitale never fails to reveal his predictions for March Madness. But, only hours away from Ohio State and Notre Dame clashing in the National Championship, the legendary broadcaster couldn’t help but get in on some football action, too.

“My motivational tip of the day — you see my jersey? ND, the Fighting Irish,” Vitale said. “Well, tonight they take on the heavy favorite, the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Well let me tell you this, I don’t know what the score’s going to end up being, I mean Ohio State is so talented.

“But let me tell you this — Notre Dame is filled with kids with great heart, toughness mentally and they play with such heart and passion, very evident after losing to Northern Illinois and then winning 13 straight games. Bottom line is don’t better against the Irish. Don’t bet against the Irish. Yes, I feel in my gut, in my heart, upset city tonight, baby! Let’s go. Here come the Irish.”

Vitale won’t have to wait much longer to see if his prediction is correct. Notre Dame and Ohio State will square off at 7:30 p.m. ET in the National Championship. The game will air live on ESPN.
