This contest will be North Carolina’s toughest opponent of the season. Against ranked opponents this season, UNC are 2-0, defeating Virginia Tech and North Carolina State.

Haters are questioning the legitimacy of Notre Dame. While they are 8-0, many are calling the Fighting Irish out for not playing any ranked opponents during that span. They silenced the doubters after defeating Clemson and can add to their perfect season tonight.

Notre Dame has the 11th ranked defense in the NCAA, while North Carolina has the 10th ranked offense. Tonight should be interesting on the spread, as Notre Dame is favorited by only a handful of points.

This marks the final game on the calendar for Notre Dame against a ranked opponent. For UNC, this is their third game against ranked opponents. They also have two games scheduled against #10 Florida Gators in the coming weeks as well.

UNC’s offense might be strong enough to handle Notre Dame, but it’s tough to argue that the Tar Heels have played a tougher opponent than ND this season. The Tar Heels have talented players that can keep this game close, but this contest heavily favors Notre Dame.
