After losing to second-ranked Miami and fifth-ranked Texas A&M by a combined four points to open the season, Notre Dame has come on to beat Purdue, Arkansas, and Boise State by an average margin of 33.3 points, going 2-0-1 ATS. Redshirt freshman quarterback CJ Carr hasn't thrown an interception in 14 quarters as he gets more comfortable running the Fighting Irish's offense. Carr can rely on one of the best running back tandems in the country with Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, who together combine to average 6.9 yards per carry. North Carolina State opened impressively with victories against East Carolina, Wake Forest, and Virginia. Quarterback CJ Bailey and running back Hollywood Smothers are two of the better players in the ACC, but overall, the Wolfpack can't hang with Notre Dame. The Wolfpack followed up their 3-0 start with a 45-33 road defeat to Duke and a bad 23-21 home loss to Virginia Tech as 10-point favorites. The Wolfpack had a home layup against FCS opponent Campbell last week, but now they step way up in class. Notre Dame has a high ceiling and can't afford a flat performance. Expect the Irish's foot to be firmly on the gas pedal. Take Notre Dame.

Notre Dame at NC State
12:00 PM Eastern
NC State had some serious questions coming into this season. They lost a lot on defense, and have several new pieces on the offense. Their first game at UConn did not show a whole lot. They were held to 24 points, and while the defense allowed just 14 points, there is a monumental difference in the Notre Dame offense than the UConn offense. The Same Hartman transfer has given the Irish the missing piece to contend for a National Title. They won a pair of easy games vs. Navy and Tennessee St., but you could see this team has a lot of dynamics on both sides of the ball. Audric Esthime is rushing for 7.3 yards per carry and Sam Hartman has thrown TD passes to six different receivers. The margin between these teams is further away than the line here. Make the play on Notre Dame.
