Week 14: Notre Dame Fighting Irish 28 - USC Trojans 31
Notre Dame's playoff hopes tie directly to how they perform against the USC Trojans in Week 14. Unfortunately for the Fighting Irish, they will be out-matched at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. USC has been much more effective at home, and this will be the last meaningful game on its calendar. With that, we expect the Trojans to pull off an unexpected upset, potentially ending Notre Dame's playoff bid.

Week 8: Notre Dame Fighting Irish 24 - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 20
The betting market has installed the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as prohibitive -11.5 chalk for Week 8's showdown against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. But at least some of the confidence is misplaced. Georgia Tech plays a possession-driven game and has been able to score with frequency. That's a similar brand of football that Notre Dame plays, albeit at an inferior level. Nevertheless, that style is not conducive to either team running away with the football game.

Week 9: Notre Dame Fighting Irish 18 - Navy Midshipmen 15
Back-to-back road games against rush-heavy teams put the Fighting Irish at a more substantial disadvantage than you might think. While Week 8 will be a more comfortable win, Notre Dame will have to scrape by against the Navy Midshipmen in Week 9. Still, their playoff aspirations remain intact following a late-game comeback.

Week 11: Florida State Seminoles 10 - Notre Dame Fighting Irish 31
The Florida State Seminoles are not who everyone thought they would be, which benefits the Fighting Irish in Week 11. Fresh off a bye, Notre Dame will make short work of their ACC rivals en route to a convincing victory at home.

Week 12: Virginia Cavaliers 14 - Notre Dame Fighting Irish 34
The Virginia Cavaliers have been a pleasant surprise this football season, but they'll meet their match in a Week 12 tilt versus the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame's methodical offense will keep the Cavaliers defense on the field for most of the game. That will allow them to pull away late, winning and covering a presumably hefty spread.

Week 13: Army Black Knights 22 - Notre Dame Fighting Irish 24
This is a matchup that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish can't look past. The Army Black Knights have been a Group of 5 powerhouse, taking care of business on both sides of the football. With a cross-country flight to SoCal on deck, the temptation will be to focus on Week 14's matchup instead of the task at hand. Consequently, Army will give the Fighting Irish a scare they aren't prepared for.
