The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have been impressive throughout this College Football playoffs. After knocking out the Indiana Hoosiers in the first round they eliminated the Georgia Bulldogs, and the Penn State Nittany Lions en route to the National Championship. Both opponents had been among the top teams in college football all year long.

The Ohio State Buckeyes entered the College Football Playoff as the most battle-tested team. Their final six games of the regular season were against FBS opponents, and three of those schools were ranked in the top 20. That preparation has paid off so far after knocking out Quinn Ewers and the Texans Longhorns, who sat atop of the rankings for most of the season, en route to the National Championship.

The oddsmakers aren’t giving Notre Dame much of a chance in this one. The Buckeyes come in as the heavy favorites in this matchup by an 8.5-point margin over the Fighting Irish. Oddsmakers also believe that this matchup will be a high-scoring affair, with the over/under marked at 46.5 points.

So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
