In their most recent meeting in 2022, Notre Dame dominated undefeated #4 Clemson 35-14 at home. The Irish defense held Clemson scoreless until the 4th quarter. Notre Dame rushed for 263 yards in the game.
When it comes to covering the spread, it’s the Fighting Irish who have covered the number in four of the past five meetings.
Fighting Irish Eyeing NY6 Bowl
Notre Dame enters the game with a 7-2 record and is ranked #12 in the latest AP Poll. While no two-loss team has ever made the CFP, the Irish have their eyes set on a New Year’s six bowl game.
Notre Dame is coming off back-to-back wins over USC and Pittsburgh. In their last game, the Fighting Irish dominated Pitt 58-7 behind a huge game from running back Audric Estime, who rushed for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Quarterback Sam Hartman has played well, throwing for over 2,100 yards with 18 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on the season. The Irish have one of the top scoring offenses in FBS, averaging 38.3 points per game.
Notre Dame is also an elite defensive team, allowing under 300 yards per game and 15.3 points per contest. During last season’s battle between the two teams, the Irish held the Tigers to just 281 yards of total offense in a 35-14 victory.
Tigers Aim to End Slump
Clemson enters this game with a lackluster 4-4 record, which is mainly disappointing due to the team’s past success. The best Clemson can achieve this season is participation in a lower-tier bowl game, which is a significant step down from their usual standards.
Clemson has lost two straight games, including their most recent 24-17 loss at NC State. Quarterback Cade Klubnik has struggled with turnovers recently, throwing 3 interceptions in his last 2 games. The Tigers have no chance of an upset if the turnovers continue.
With the Tigers struggling to take care of the football, expect to see a healthy dose of Clemson star running back Will Shipley, who has rushed for 515 yards and three scores on 112 carries this season.
The Tigers’ defense has been solid, allowing just 270 yards per game and 21 points per contest. They’ve been especially dominant against the run, ranking 15th nationally in rushing defense at 99 yards per game allowed.
Notre Dame vs Clemson Prediction
This should be a close game between two talented teams. Notre Dame’s offense led by Sam Hartman will look to exploit Clemson’s red zone struggles. However, Clemson’s defense should keep them in the game. In the end, the Fighting Irish have the edge at quarterback and that will be the difference.
Clemson’s record against the spread is a lackluster 2-6, while the Irish have gone 7-2 ATS. We don’t expect this to be a blowout, but we also can’t envision the Tigers scoring enough points to pull off the upset.
Our only real concern with Notre Dame here is their ability to get a big road win, as exemplified in a recent loss to Louisville and a close game against Duke. The last time this rivalry game was played in Charlotte (2020), Clemson won by a 34-10 margin.
Still, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney has appeared beaten down in recent press conferences, which makes you question where exactly the team morale is at right now. We’re backing the Irish, who are the more complete team, to win and cover in Week 10.
- Pick: Notre Dame -3 (-112)
