Notre Dame vs Miami Prediction
This game brings back echoes of a historic rivalry, and both programs are eager to make a statement. Miami enters with a revamped offense that should test Notre Dame’s secondary, while the Irish counter with one of the nation’s most balanced defensive units. The Hurricanes’ home crowd will play a role early, but Notre Dame’s discipline and superior depth should wear down Miami across four quarters.
Notre Dame’s offensive line is the difference-maker here, giving their quarterback time to exploit mismatches and sustain long drives. Miami’s athleticism keeps it competitive into the second half, but the Irish should make enough plays late to cover.
Score Prediction: Notre Dame 31, Miami 24
Best Bet: Notre Dame -3
