  • Georgia is a 1.5-point favorite against Notre Dame.
  • The total for this College Football Playoff matchup is 44.5.
  • Kickoff is at 8:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday at the Caesars Superdome.

The final game of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals pits Notre Dame (12-1) and Georgia (11-2) against each other at 8:45 p.m. ET on Wednesday in the Caesars Superdome.

Notre Dame won 27-17 over Indiana in the opening round of the CFP, while Georgia had the week off following its 22-19 victory over Texas in the SEC title game.

The Bulldogs are 1.5-point favorites despite its starting quarterback (Carson Beck) being out for the season. Redshirt sophomore Gunner Stockton will be responsible for maintaining Georgiaโ€™s championship aspirations.

Here is a look at the latest Notre Dame vs. Georgia college football odds and my prediction for this CFP battle:

Notre Dame vs. Georgia Odds, Jan. 1

  • Point spread: Georgia -1.5 (-115)
  • Total: 44.5

Notre Dame vs. Georgia Prediction – Wednesday, Jan. 1

Based on the latest college football betting lines at the BetMGM online sportsbook, my Notre Dame vs. Georgia prediction is to take the Bulldogsโ€™ moneyline value (-125) in a game I expect the SEC team to win.

Stockton, a former four-star prospect, should be ready for the challenge after having an extra week to prepare as the starting quarterback. He helped rally the Bulldogs from a 6-3 halftime deficit in the SEC title game, finishing 12-of-16 for 71 yards.

Notre Dameโ€™s 10-point victory over Indiana was heavily influenced by a first-quarter sequence of an interception in the red zone followed by a 98-yard touchdown run from Jeremiah Love. The Fighting Irish played from in front the rest of the night.

But this is a significant step up in competition for Notre Dame. And Iโ€™m willing to back the better team, especially at this discounted price.

Prediction: Georgia Moneyline (-125)
