People are focusing on Notre Dame having already lost twice. But Duke is way down this season with a terrible loss to Wake Forest and then Northwestern. The Blue Devils aren't 100 percent healthy on defense and lack the playmakers to keep up with a frustrated Irish squad in need of a wipeout performance.

Now Duke, which is full of underclassmen, has to try to step up against Notre Dame. It's not going to happen. The Blue Devils haven't seen this kind of offensive talent. Notre Dame, on the other hand, gets to drop way down in class having already gone up against Texas and Michigan State.

This is a matchup where laying three touchdowns is cheap.
