FSU vs Notre Dame prediction & betting tips - Nov. 9 | College Football Week 11

FSU vs Notre Dame is set to take place on Saturday, November 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET. The No. 10-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host the Florida State Seminoles in a battle between teams that have had nearly opposite seasons.

Florida State has had nearly everything go wrong this season. At the start of the year, the Seminoles were favored to win the ACC after bringing in quarterback DJ Uiagalelei in the off-season. However, they have only won once this season and have now lost five straight games after losing 35-11 to North Carolina on Saturday.

Notre Dame (7-1) has had an excellent season that could earn it a playoff spot if it performs well in its final four games of the season. The Fighting Irish are coming off a 51-14 win over Navy Midshipmen and have won six games in a row.

FSU vs Notre Dame prediction

Experts, sportsbooks, and analytical models agree that Notre Dame (7-1) is heavily favored in this matchup. Despite having a roster that should have performed much better this season on paper, the Seminoles (1-8) have not been able to make anything work this year.

The biggest issue for the team has been the offense. Despite bringing in a new quarterback, they have not been able to get more than the 21 points they scored in Week 0 all season. Even in its win, Florida State only scored 14 points against California.

Conversely, Notre Dame has had dominant offensive performances throughout most of the season. The team has eclipsed the 30-point threshold five times and has only been held to less than 20 points once. Their defense has been strong, never allowing its opponents to score more than 24 points in a game.

As a result, the sportsbooks give the Fighting Irish -5000 odds as favorites, and the Seminoles +1694 odds as underdogs. The Data Skrive model predicts that Notre Dame will defeat Florida State 38-7 on Saturday.
