College football has some of the best action we will get this weekend, not just in volume but in matchups, and one that stands out is Notre Dame vs. North Carolina. To get in on today’s action, Fanatics Sportsbook is offering you $350 when you wager $20 or more using promo code FOXNEWS350.
For the season, Notre Dame is 4-0 and comes into the game as the third-best team in the country according to polls. This year’s schedule hasn’t been a challenge yet, but it is possible they have some tough games ahead, including this one. Their offense has rolled, and their defense has been crisp.
The question is whether wins over Wisconsin, Rice, Michigan State and Purdue are good enough to judge just how dominant this Fighting Irish team is. You could make an argument that Wisconsin and Purdue are the better teams they’ve faced, but they had no trouble winning a combined 90-23 over those two teams.

North Carolina is 2-1 for the season, and if you want a reason to bet on them, it is because Bill Belichick is the coach, and he has had an extra week to prepare. They still don’t look like a dominant program, and there seems to have been more off-field storylines than on-field production.
However, if you think the Tar Heels can prepare a plan to stop Notre Dame, having an extra week would certainly be helpful. In their three games, they have beaten TCU in the first game, then took down East Tennessee State. Before the bye week, they lost to Clemson 28-20.
Fightin’ Irish or Tar Heels, you make the call. With Fanatics Sportsbook, you can take a shot on either or something else in the game and wager $20 with promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in FanCash.
