Notre Dame football statistical prop bet analysis vs. North Carolina

Notre Dame and North Carolina are playing a game on Saturday. The quarterback comparison for the game is between Drake Maye and Drew Pyne.

Maye threw for 2 touchdowns and 1 interception last time out against Georgia State. He was 1 touchdown shy of averaging 4 per game through his first three starts. Notre Dame's defense held Heisman Trophy candidate CJ Stroud to 2 touchdown passes in the season opener. North Carolina's offense has a lot of skill position players.

Notre Dame's defense will try to stop North Carolina's offense. Patrick Engel thinks it will be too late for the Tar Heels. Patrick is optimistic about the Irish's chances. He thinks they will keep North Carolin's quarterback, Luke Maye, from putting up a gaudy stat line.

Notre Dame needs to score more than 24 points and run for 147 yards to win the game. Tyler Horka is under-reacting to Jack Coan's season-long average of 242 yards per game and lowering expectations for Pyne to around 200 yards.

Patrick Engel picked Notre Dame to reach 30 points in the buy or sell segment. Patrick Engel will take the run game emerging as the primary weapon. North Carolina's leaky defense is inviting for offenses looking to complete a couple downfield throws. Notre Notre's offense isn't built for it.

Tyler Horka is betting against Notre Dame football team against North Carolina. He thinks the team will not be able to take the ball away from the opponent.

Notre Dame is underdogs against North Carolina. North Carolin has lost three fumbles in three games. Notre Dame has only one turnover in its first three matches. Patrick Engel believes the constant forced fumble emphasis in preseason camp and spring practice will pay off.
