Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech odds: Early point spread released, How to Watch
Notre Dame and Georgia Tech will square off next week for the first time since 2021. Ahead of the matchup, the early point spread has been released.
The Fighting Irish opened as an 8.5-point favorite against the Yellow Jackets, according to FanDuel. The over-under also opened at 50.5 points.
Notre Dame dominated the last meeting against Georgia Tech in 2021, coming away with a 55-0 victory. The Week 8 matchup will be the first since both teams underwent coaching changes with Marcus Freeman now in his third season at Notre Dame and Brent Key in his second full year at Georgia Tech.
The Fighting Irish entered this year with College Football Playoff aspirations, but a loss to Northern Illinois made the path a bit tougher for Freeman’s group. But victories over Texas A&M and Louisville are important on their resume, and another Power Four matchup against Georgia Tech presents another opportunity.
Notre Dame and Georgia Tech will square off Oct. 19 at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Here’s how to watch the matchup.

Notre Dame stayed in the Top 12 of the AP Top 25 after Week 6, checking in tied for No. 11 heading into Stanford week. But when asked about what success would mean for the Irish, Freeman said it doesn’t come down to what the win-loss numbers are. It’s about getting the most out of his group.
“Pretty simple around here — reaching our full potential,” Freeman said ahead of the Stanford game, via Blue and Gold’s Kyle Kelly. “That’s something that we chase. It isn’t an outcome. It isn’t numbers of wins and losses. We got to chase reaching our full potential and chase improvement. I think we’ll look back after the season and we’ll say, ‘Hey, thought this season was a success or here’s the areas that we didn’t succeed at.’
“You have to just kind of keep blinders on and focus on your upcoming opponent, focus on improving. After the season plays out, we’ll look back and we’ll define if we felt like this was a success or not.”
