ESPN believes that Notre Dame will have a very early swing game for the 2025 season
If you haven't looked ahead to what Notre Dame football's first few weeks of the 2025 season look like, it's a very front-loaded schedule. The Irish open the season on the road against Miami, then hosting Texas A&M in the home opener. Starting the season against two ranked teams will be a big test for Notre Dame, and ESPN believes that the first game of the year will be its swing game. Mark Schlabach went into details on why this is such an important game for the Irish as he said 'Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman won't have to wait long to learn if his team is a CFP (College Football Playoff) national title contender.' He isn't wrong, and due to the fact that this 'will be a tremendous test for Notre Dame's new starting quarterback, presumably redshirt freshman CJ Carr,' as Schlabach said, it won't be an easy contest. Unfortunately for Freeman, he hasn't done all that well early in the season, in his first the Irish lost the initial two games, then his second was much better, but the competition wasn't nearly at the same level. Last year Northern Illinois knocked off the Irish in the second game, but Notre Dame did win the opener on the road against A&M. There will be a much different focus for the Irish this coming fall, as the expectations for the program have risen significantly due to its impressive 2024 run in the CFP. Don't expect Freeman to ask Carr or even Kenny Minchey to do all that much in the opener, as they'll both still be getting their feet wet at this level. He'll lean on the elite defense, and hopefully the Irish return to South Bend with an early swing game victory.

BetMGM places Notre Dame's season win total at 10.5
There is plenty of national buzz surrounding Notre Dame football as we get closer to the start of the 2025 college football season, so it's no surprise that BetMGM has placed a high win total on Marcus Freeman's squad. The Fighting Irish are one of four teams to lead the way at 10.5 wins, per the sportsbook. Also at 10.5 are Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State. The next tier of teams sit at 9.5: Alabama, Boise State, Clemson, Georgia, Liberty, Miami and Texas. The Irish open the new season at Miami on August 31, a critical game that could set the tone for the entire season. But after that tough contest, the schedule is doable: another road game against Arkansas, but Texas A&M, Boise State and USC have to come to South Bend. Would you take the over or under on ND at 10.5 wins?
