The High Point Panthers were absolutely abused in their only game against real competition, and this will be their toughest test yet. While they have just one game under their belt, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are loaded with returning production and could be a true sleeper in a competitive ACC. I’m rather high on Notre Dame this season. I’ll lay the chalk with the Irish at home.
