<p>
Notre Dame (2-3) enters off a 50-33 drubbing of Syracuse, last Saturday. Nevertheless, the Irish have looked very unimpressive as a whole this season even with the win. The Irish defense has been Swiss Cheese. The Irish are ranked 106th nationally in total defense, are scaled at 108th in the country in total passing defense while also allowing 186 yards rushing yards per game. Additionally, Notre Dame is giving up well over 30 points per game.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at North Carolina State Wolf Pack Prediction
In the early going, we have seen 80% of the public jump on the Irish. The Irish initially opened as a 1.5 point favorite and now have since become a 2 point pooch, signifying early action on the Wolf Pack. In Over/Under markets, the price is currently resting at 68.5. Notre Dame is one of the most recognized names and programs in the history of college football. Without a doubt, the name of Notre Dame in itself is likened to that of a blue-chip stock. Takers have expectations and when you place a team like Notre Dame with heightened hype season-in and season-out by virtue of their namesake, NC State seems like a lock for them. When you add points in to the equation, it seems ever more alluring. North Carolina State’s stadium is known as one of the most difficult and perilous environments to play in all of college football and this does not heighten the optimism of the Irish who already lost on the road at Texas this year. Notre Dame lives and dies by their offense and teams of this nature are a very volatile and risky play especially when they are going to a place where it will be loud, noisy and very likely quite intimidating. North Carolina State was offered at this price for a reason and it seems the sharps are in on it, we hope to be as well.
