Two of the most storied programs in college football history will face off on Saturday as Clemson Tigers will travel to South Bend and take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Clemson will come into this one as the number 5 team in the nation in the college football standings.
Notre Dame, on the other hand, hasn’t necessarily played too well this season as they’re unranked and 5-3 on the season. Anytime a Notre Dame team has three losses on the season, it’s typically going to be looked at as a disappointment.
Continue reading below for our Clemson vs Notre Dame Betting Analysis and find out the best bet that we’re going with in this game.
Last Game Records
Clemson will come into this game at 8-0 on the season. However, their last two games might not have been the best we’ve seen them play. They came away with two wins, and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
Their wins, however, were only by 6 points against Florida State and 6 points against Syracuse. There are ways that Clemson can improve, and the Clemson football odds reflect that.
The reason Notre Dame is currently in the position they’re in is because of their disastrous start of the season. Notre Dame lost to Ohio State and Marshall in Week 1 and 2. Their college football schedule hasn’t been kind, and it won’t get any easier anytime soon.
Notre Dame won their last game 41-24 against Syracuse and are showing that they might deserve to be a top-25 team in the nation, despite the slow start.

Clemson Tigers vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Betting Analysis
Clemson Tigers Content
The Clemson Tigers have continuously been one of the nation’s best throughout the better part of the past decade, and we will look for that to continue this week. Notre Dame isn’t going to be an easy opponent, but Clemson really hasn’t played a bad opponent all season long. If they want to continue dominating, Clemson is the #5 ranked team in the country, but quite frankly, they haven’t exactly shined in any game this season.
That could be for multiple reasons. The ACC is arguably the best conference in all of college football, so winning games at the end of the day is all we can ask for.
Clemson has done exactly that. The Tigers come into this one being a force on the defensive side of the football when it matters most. Our Clemson vs Notre Dame Betting Analysis is going to be focused on what they can continue doing defensively.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish Content
Notre Dame might be a tad disrespected at the moment. Their start of the season was the reason why they’re currently in the position that they’re in.
If Notre Dame hadn’t lost to Marshall, there’s a good chance that we would see them in the top 25. A win against a Clemson team would more than likely make them a ranked opponent.
Our college football picks might be backing the Fighting Irish on the spread this season, as they’ve shown us throughout the past few weeks that they can beat high-level opponents. Their win against Syracuse was impressive.
If they can come out and replicate that performance, Clemson better watch out because it’s not going to be easy for them to win this game.
Updates
Fortunately, neither team is dealing with any new injuries. However, injury reports can change as the game gets closer, so make sure to read about them before you put your bet in.
Clemson Tigers vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Betting Preview
The betting trends in this Clemson vs Notre Dame Betting Analysis are interesting. We have to factor in here that it doesn’t always matter what college football teams have done against the spread, but they’re figures that we want to understand and gauge a better understanding of each team.
Clemson will come into this one at 4-4 against the spread this season. They have been a 3.5-point favorite or more in every single game this season, so their 4-4 record ATS is the same as this type of favorite.
Four of their eight games have gone over. Clemson must love the number four. Notre Dame is also 4-4 against the spread this season. However, as a 3.5-point underdog, they’re 1-0 ATS.
This is certainly something that we should think about in this game. Three of their eight games have hit the over this season.
