Notre Dame Fighting Irish Betting Outlook
Notre Dame enters Week 3 with the sting of last week’s heartbreaking 27-24 loss to Miami still lingering. The Irish fought back from 14 points down but couldn’t hold off the Hurricanes’ late field goal. Now, back at home in South Bend, they’ll aim to turn the page.
Quarterback CJ Carr showed flashes in his first start, going 19-for-30 with 221 yards and two touchdowns. Expect Marcus Freeman to open up more of the playbook and lean on the passing game after easing Carr in during Week 1. Running back Jeremiyah Love should also see more carries after a quiet debut.
The Irish defense will be tasked with slowing down Texas A&M’s high-powered offense. At home, and desperate to avoid an 0-2 start, Notre Dame has the tools to deliver.
Prediction angle: The Irish offense gets rolling late, and the defense bends but doesn’t break.
Player prop to watch: CJ Carr Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns.
Texas A&M Aggies Betting Outlook
The Aggies are 2-0 and brimming with confidence after topping 40 points in each of their first two outings. Quarterback Marcel Reed has been the key, tossing seven touchdowns without an interception while adding 105 rushing yards. After exiting last week’s game briefly, he’s expected to return fully healthy.
Coach Mike Elko knows what this matchup means after last year’s 23-13 loss to Notre Dame. Expect the Aggies to push tempo and test Notre Dame’s secondary with Reed’s dual-threat ability and a dynamic receiving duo of Mario Craver and KC Concepcion, who already have three touchdowns apiece.
The Aggies’ defense has yet to face an opponent with Notre Dame’s balance, but their ability to limit explosive plays will be crucial.
Prediction angle: Texas A&M keeps it tight into the second half, but defensive lapses prove costly.
Player prop to watch: Marcel Reed Over 194.5 Passing Yards.
Betting Outlook & Prediction
Notre Dame rides home-field energy and a sharper offensive performance to a 31-24 win, covering the spread in a physical, high-energy matchup.
Final Score: Notre Dame 31, Texas A&M 24
