Georgia vs Notre Dame Preview & Picks

Notre Dame are tipped to advance to the final four in the playoffs.

The Fighting Irish have been on a tear since that Northern Illinois embarrassment, and they can take advantage of a Georgia team who are without starting quarterback Carson Beck.

  • Notre Dame are on an 11-game win streak
  • Notre Dame are 1-0 as an underdog this season
  • Georgia are 4-9-0 ATS this season
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of Notre Dame’s last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Georgia lead the all-time series 3-0
  • Georgia won 23-17 when the two teams last met in September 2019

Georgia Form

Georgia overcame a couple of conference defeats to claim the SEC crown and secure a place in the quarter-finals of the College Football Playoffs.

The Bulldogs started the season as the number one ranked team in the country and sent an early message with a 34-3 blowout of Clemson.

They underwhelmed after that though and were knocked off top spot before suffering a 41-34 defeat at the hands of Alabama.

Georgia rebounded with four straight wins, including a 30-15 victory over top-ranked Texas, only to then suffer another setback as they were beaten 28-10 at Ole Miss.

The Bulldogs won their final three games though, including a 31-17 victory over Tennessee, and then beat Texas 22-19 in overtime in the SEC Championship Game.

Notre Dame Form

Notre Dame entered the College Football Playoffs having bounced back from a shock defeat in September with 10 straight victories to finish 11-1.

The Fighting Irish opened with a 23-13 victory at Texas A&M, only to suffer a sensational 16-14 defeat when they hosted Northern Illinois in their home opener.

Their response was emphatic though, as they beat Purdue 66-7 to spark a run of 10 consecutive wins that included successes against three ranked teams.

Notre Dame beat Louisville 31-24 at home, before downing both Navy and Army on neutral sites, 51-14 and 49-14 respectively.

The Fighting Irish then wrapped up their regular season campaign with a 49-35 win at USC, ensuring they would make the first ever 12-team playoffs.

They then made it 11 wins in a row in the opening round of the playoffs, as they downed Indiana 27-17.

Verdict

Georgia survived Carson Beck’s injury in the SEC Championship Game, but we do not expect them to be as fortunate here.

Notre Dame are on a red-hot run and have a defense that can make enough key stops to ensure victory.
