I played the Irish on the spread at -7 (-110) and would buy-back to the key number rather than playing -7.5. Hartman had six touchdowns to six interceptions with 923 passing yards on 131 passing attempts (43.6 per game)! The Irish QB finally has a defense behind him, so I will ride Notre Dame again. However, Wake Forest’s defense allowed 42, 42 and 45 points in those three games, which will not happen to Notre Dame. Hartman is 1-2 versus NC State in his career as a member of Wake Forest. 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.
