Notre Dame Football at North Carolina Tar Heels: 3 bold predictions
Notre Dame wins by double-digits
The Fighting Irish have had a few close calls this season in their race to 8-0, and the oddsmakers in Las Vegas feel this is going to be another single-digit game. The North Carolina defense is not great, but their offense is incredibly talented and can strike at any moment, as evident by them leading the country in plays of ten-or-more yards.
Friday, Notre Dame needs to limit the big plays and feed the ball to Kyren Williams, keeping the Tar Heels offense off the field as long as possible. North Carolina is going to get their points, but the key will be getting out to a lead, and forcing them to hurt you in the passing game, negating the duo of Williams and Carter.
If they can do that, they should be able to come away with a ten-plus point win on the road.
