First Steps: Looking at the Teams
I started by, well, just watching some games. You know, getting a feel for how both teams play. I'm no expert, but I wanted to see their styles with my own eyes. I watched some highlights of Boston College, saw how they move the ball, their defense... that sort of thing. Then I did the same for Notre Dame. Just trying to get a basic understanding.
Di)hgU( stgging into Stats (Ugh)

Next, I knew I had to look at some numbers. Honestly, stats aren't my favorite, but they're important. I started hunting around for things like:
- Wins and Losses: Pretty basic, but it gives you a general idea.
- Points Scored/Allowed: How many points do they usually score? How many do they let the other team score?
- Maybe some other numbers: honestly, I get lost easy in here.
I jotted all this stuff down in a notebook. Nothing fancy, just trying to organize my thoughts.
Trying to Find Patterns
After gathering all this info, I started looking for, like, patterns. Did Boston College struggle against teams with a strong running game? Did Notre Dame have any weaknesses I could spot? It was like being a detective, but with sports instead of clues. Sometimes it felt like I was just staring at a wall of numbers, hoping something would jump out at me.
The "Gut Feeling" Stage
After all the research, I took a step back and just...thought. Sometimes, you gotta trust your gut, right? I thought about everything I'd seen and read, and tried to form my own opinion. It wasn't scientific, but it felt important to combine the data with my own observations.
Making My (Very Unofficial) Prediction
Finally, I took a deep breath and made my prediction. It's not like I'm betting my life savings on this or anything, but it was fun to go through the process. it is gonna be a very close game, it's not gonna be easy for both teams!
So, that's how I tackled this prediction challenge. It was a mix of watching games, getting lost in numbers, and trusting my instincts. I am not sure whether I will be right, but I had so much fun!
