#7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs #2 Georgia Bulldogs What to Watch:
One day later than planned because of the attack on Bourbon Street on New Year's Day, the seventh-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish will play the second-seeded Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals at the 2025 Sugar Bowl on Thursday. The Fighting Irish (12-1) are 5-0 against the top 25 teams in the Associated Press this season and have won ten straight games. The Bulldogs (11-2) are 4-2 against rated opponents this season after defeating Texas 22-19 in overtime to win the SEC Championship. Georgia will be missing at least nine players, including starting quarterback Carson Beck, who had elbow surgery and has declared for the NFL Draft, while Notre Dame will be without at least eleven players because of injuries or the transfer portal.
At 4 p.m. ET, kickoff will take place from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The Irish are now 1.5-point favorites in the most recent Notre Dame vs. Georgia odds, after Georgia started as the favorite.
