2. Notre Dame will continue its ACC domination

Notre Dame has won 29 straight games against ACC opponents, and they hope to have this streak continue. The Irish had a hiccup last week, but they are a far too talented team to fall into the abyss after a gut-wrenching loss. This will not be another Marshall game.

Instead, this game will be the game that turns around the entire season, as they rebound and regain all the momentum they had before the debacle against Ohio State.

The Irish defense is dominant and has been all season long. Even with the loss last Saturday, it was still a dominating effort, and you can look for this trend to continue. Yes, Duke has a very good offense, with a great quarterback, but I believe that the Notre Dame defense is just that much better and when it comes down to it, the Fighting Irish will prevail.
