Notre Dame has allowed six total points to Navy and Tennessee State, so of course, this will be a tighter contest, but I think the Irish can roll by double-digits behind Hartman and their defense. NC State’s starting safety Rakeim Ashford is out, so Hartman will have a better matchup than expected. The Wolfpack’s defense will be face Sam Hartman who has the second-best QBR in all of College Football (97.1) and six touchdowns to zero interceptions. NC State wasn’t ultra-impressive in Week 1, beating UConn, 24-14, so this Notre Dame team will be a true test.
*Odds provided by BetMGM Notre Dame (-7.5) at NC State: O/U 50.5 I also played this at 10.5, which was too high. Give me the Under 9.5 points for the UNLV Running Rebels at -113 odds. The Wolverines have yet to allow a touchdown and that streak may continue.
