Fight between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Miami Hurricanes forecasted for August 31st: Bet on Notre Dame in the first week's matchup

The football season is upon us, and one of the most anticipated matchups of the 2025-26 season is set to take place at Hard Rock Stadium on August 31st. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish, fresh from their loss in the National Championship to the Ohio State Buckeyes in January, will face off against the Miami Hurricanes. This highly anticipated matchup will be broadcast on ABC, with a kick-off time of 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

The Miami Hurricanes are facing a new look offense due to the departure of Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick for the team. However, they have brought in reinforcements, with CJ Daniels joining from Liberty and LSU, and Tony Johnson from Florida Atlantic.

On the other side, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are returning a majority of their starters from last season. Marcus Freeman's team will see 19 out of 22 starters return, with 9 returning on offense and 10 on defense. CJ Carr has won the starting job for the Irish, replacing Carson Beck who had off-field troubles prior to the start of practice.

The Notre Dame offense will be led by a strong group of wide receivers, with seniors Malachi Fields and Eli Raridon, along with juniors Jaden Greathouse and Jordan Faison. The running game could see a boost with the addition of Jeremiyah Love, a potential Heisman pick, who has joined the team from elsewhere.

The Miami Hurricanes will also boast a strong offensive line, with their roster yet to be fully announced. The team's success will largely depend on how well they can adapt to their new quarterback, with Tyler Van Dyke taking over from Carson Beck.

This promises to be an exciting matchup, with both teams eager to start their seasons on a high note. Fans of college football are in for a treat as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Miami Hurricanes go head-to-head at Hard Rock Stadium on August 31st.
