Notre Dame Football: ESPN FPI odds for remainder of season

New Year’s Six?

What a strange season 2023 has shaped up to be for Notre Dame.

Starting early in Week 0 has made the year seemingly fly by. Plenty of teams nationally not only didn’t have a Week 0 game but also already had their off weeks. That leaves the Irish with four games to play and two off weeks the rest of the way.

It’s a bizarre schedule that deserves to be examined to keep it from happening again. That said, there are four games to play and plenty to play for in regards to Notre Dame.

One of those things is a New Year’s Six bowl game and the chance of winning one for the first time as a program in 30 years. In order to get invited to one, Notre Dame must first win out.

What are the chances of that happening?

Here are the updated ESPN FPI odds for Notre Dame in each of their remaining games as of Oct. 16, 2023.

Notre Dame-Central Michigan: Staff predictions as Irish look for 4-0 start

We all think Notre Dame wins Saturday – but do they cover the 34.5?

Notre Dame sits 3-0 as they’ve already played 25% of their regular season games.  We wait all year for the season to get here and it seems like it flies by faster than just about anything else.

It’s an odd week for the Fighting Irish as pretty much everyone’s eyes are on the Ohio State showdown next weekend.  Central Michigan brings a 1-1 team to South Bend on Saturday that was blown out by Michigan State and barely got by New Hampshire to date.

Does Notre Dame keep on rolling to 4-0?  We all clearly expect a win but what about in dominating fashion?  Or will the Irish eyes be looking ahead as they sleepwalk to a victory?

The spread is set at 34.5 points.  Do the Irish cover that before hosting Ohio State in the mega-showdown next week?

Here is what the Fighting Irish Wire staff sees happening in Saturday’s contest:
