Notre Dame visits Athens for the first time on September 21 and the oddsmakers aren’t putting a lot of faith in the Fighting Irish’s No. 6 early preseason ranking.
Collin Wilson, the College Football Predictive Analyst for the Action Network HQ has the No. 4 Bulldogs listed as a 10.5-point favorite over Notre Dame. Georgia beat the Irish in South Bend in 2017 by the score of 20-19. In that game, Georgia, which was a five-point underdog, was led by freshman quarterback Jake Fromm starting his first game.
Last season, No. 3 Notre Dame lost to Clemson 30-3 in the college football playoff semifinals.
