Notre Dame, fresh off a 42-13 beat down of stumbling Florida State, is two wins away from a playoff berth. Their next obstacle in their path is the 12th ranked Orange from Syracuse. The Irish have opened up as a 9.5 point favorite over the surprising Orange in a game that will be a “home” game for the Irish as part of the Shamrock Series but will take place in Yankee Stadium.
Syracuse (8-2) is 13th in the latest CFP Rankings but rose to #12 in the AP Poll this week after notching their 8th win of the season.
