On Saturday, the No. 16 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish visit Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina to play the Duke Blue Devils. Notre Dame improved to 6-2 on the season following a 21-20 win over Virginia Tech. Ian Book rushed 7 yards for a touchdown with just 29 seconds remaining lifting the Irish to the win on a late 87-yard 18-play drive for Notre Dame. 

Duke is 4-4 on the season following its 20-17 loss to North Carolina last week. The Blue Devils had a bye in Week 10. Deon Jackson’s trick play pass was picked off by North Carolina at the goal line with just 14 seconds to play and the Blue Devils fell to defeat against their arch rivals. Quentin Harris threw for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the loss to UNC.

Ian Book has passed for 1,492 yards, 15 touchdowns and two interceptions for Notre Dame. The leading running back for the Fighting Irish is Tony Jones Jr. with 571 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Chase Claypool leads the Irish with 436 yards and four touchdowns. Asmar Bilal is Notre Dame’s leader in tackles with 44.

Quentin Harris has thrown for 1,500 yards, 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions for Duke. Deon Jackson is the leading rusher for Duke with 487 yards and five touchdowns. The leading receiver is Jalon Calhoun with 294 yards and three touchdowns. Koby Quansah leads Duke in tackles with 72.

Notre Dame is a far better team but has had its problems covering the number. The Irish have failed to cover 5 of the last 6 on the road and 19 of the last 26 played during November. Duke has covered the number in 8 of its last 9 following a bye week and 6 of its last 7 versus Independents. Final Score Prediction, Notre Dame Fighting Irish win but fall short ATS 28-24.
