Our Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Miami (FL) Hurricanes Prediction
Both of these teams have high expectations this season, but Notre Dame is the small favorite, partly due to them nearly winning a National Championship last season. As for Miami, they lose Cam Ward at quarterback, as he was drafted to the Tennessee Titans. However, the Hurricanes brought in Carson Beck at quarterback, a transfer from Georgia.
Notre Dame has a difficult schedule to start this season, which starts with this game against Miami. However, the Fighting Irish proved last season that they can win games against tough opponents, while the Hurricanes failed to perform
While a loss in this game for either team will not immediately derail their season, the Fighting Irish look to have the edge, both offensively and defensively. Further, Beck had his fair share of struggles at Georgia last season, so even though he transferred to Miami for a fresh start, he is not a quarterback we trust to perform on the biggest stage. For that reason, our Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Miami Hurricanes prediction is: Notre Dame Fighting Irish ML.Jackpot Pools
