The No. 11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-1) look to rebound from a last second loss to No. 4 Ohio State when they travel to Wallace Wade Stadium to take on the No. 17 Duke Blue Devils (4-0) on Saturday. The Irish gave up a one-yard touchdown to the Buckeyes with 0:01 left on the clock to lose 17-14 in South Bend. The Blue Devils are coming off a 41-7 dismantling of UConn last Saturday. Notre Dame will be looking to extend its regular season winning streak against ACC opponents to 30 games. These teams last met in 2020, with the Irish winning 27-13 in South Bend. Notre Dame is 2-1-1 and Duke is 3-0 against the spread in 2023.

Kickoff at Wallace Wade Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. SportsLine consensus lists the Irish at -5.5, up one point from the opening line, in the latest Duke vs. Notre Dame odds, with the over/under set at 52.5 points.

Why Notre Dame can cover

Notre Dame returned 15 starters off last year's 9-4 team. The Irish have one of the premier offensive lines in college football, and have the talent to take control of this game at the line of scrimmage. Leading the way for Notre Dame is Audric Estime, who has 77 carries for 591 yards and five touchdowns in 2023.

Notre Dame also has one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the country in Sam Hartman, a transfer from Wake Forest. Hartman enters this matchup with 1,236 passing yards, 14 touchdown passes and zero interceptions for the season. In his career, the sixth-year senior has 14,203 passing yards (ninth most in college football history), 124 TD passes (seventh most in college football history) and 19 rushing touchdowns. See which team to pick at SportsLine. 

Why Duke can cover

Much like Notre Dame, Duke is an experienced team, with 17 returning starters in head coach Mike Elko's second season at the helm. Quarterback Riley Leonard is one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the ACC, and will be difficult to contain. He enters this matchup completing 67.7% of his passes for 778 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He's added 238 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. 

Duke has the advantage of playing at home with the chance to get off to a 5-0 start for the first time since 1994. The Blue Devils have allowed only 35 points in four games and may catch Notre Dame on a hangover following last week's disappointment. Duke's defense is allowing only 276.3 total yards per game in 2023. See which team to back at SportsLine.
