One of the top games to open the 2025 season will be a showdown between national runner-up Notre Dame<\/a><\/strong> and a revitalized Miami<\/a><\/strong> squad, with the game taking place down south at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n

Both teams will have a point to prove.<\/p>\n

According to early lines listed by FanDuel<\/a>, Notre Dame is set to open as a 2.5-point favorite in the game. The over\/under for the contest has been set at 53.5 points.<\/p>\n

That sets the expectation going into the game: The Fighting Irish will be a slight favorite, even on the road and replacing quite a bit of talent from the squad that recently represented the program in the national championship game.<\/p>\n

Miami also loses a bunch, most notably quarterback Cam Ward<\/a><\/strong>. Ward was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2024 after a breakout season following a transfer from Washington State<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He threw for 4,313 yards and 39 touchdowns, turning Miami into a bit of an air-raid offense. Replacing him won\u2019t be easy, but the \u2018Canes have moved swiftly to do just that, securing a high-profile transfer yet again.<\/p>\n

This time it will be former Georgia<\/strong><\/a> star Carson Beck<\/a><\/strong> who joins Miami and takes the reins of the offense.<\/p>\n

Beck is coming off a bit of an up-and-down season with the Bulldogs, throwing a career-high 12 interceptions. But there\u2019s no doubting the experience. He has thrown for 7,912 career yards and 58 scores.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame, on the other hand, will have to replace Riley Leonard<\/a><\/strong> at quarterback.<\/p>\n

But coach Marcus Freeman<\/a><\/strong> has put down a nice foundation for the program and Notre Dame should be an attractive landing spot for top players in the NCAA transfer portal<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, the season-opening contest between Miami and Notre Dame should be fascinating, as evidenced by the tight early spread.<\/p>\n
