Notre Dame Football's 2025 Season: High Expectations and Challenging Odds Ahead
The Notre Dame football team has built quite the reputation over the years, and heading into the 2025 season, expectations are higher than ever. After a thrilling 2024 season, where the Fighting Irish finished 11-1 in the regular season, Notre Dame fans are eager to see how the team will perform next. The Irish made a deep run in the College Football Playoff, making it to the national championship game, only to fall short against Ohio State. Despite the heartbreaking finish, there is plenty to be excited about for 2025.
Under head coach Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame’s 2024 season showed significant growth and resilience. Freeman, in just his third year as head coach, led the Irish to impressive victories, including three playoff wins before ultimately facing Ohio State in a national championship showdown. The program’s progress under Freeman’s leadership has earned widespread praise, including from prominent analysts like Kirk Herbstreit, who has expressed his confidence in Freeman's ability to build a successful roster.

As the 2025 season draws nearer, Las Vegas has already set the win total for Notre Dame at 10.5 games. The betting odds suggest the Irish may fall slightly short of that total, with -210 odds for the under and +162 odds for the over. But regardless of the outcome, the upcoming season promises to be a thrilling ride for fans and players alike.
Notre Dame will kick off the season on August 31st with an away game against the Miami Hurricanes, followed by an early bye week. After that, the Irish will embark on a challenging stretch of six straight games before another bye. With a tough schedule ahead, Notre Dame will be tested by teams from several power conferences. The team will face six ACC opponents, two SEC teams, and two Big Ten teams. Additionally, Notre Dame will square off against Boise State, which participated in the College Football Playoff in 2024, as well as traditional rival Navy.
Freeman has worked hard to turn Notre Dame into a respected program once again, earning praise for his leadership and ability to connect with young athletes. Herbstreit, in particular, notes how Freeman has "made Notre Dame cool" again. His ability to inspire recruits and build a culture at Notre Dame has revitalized the program. In fact, many analysts are now predicting a strong future for the team, with some even suggesting that Freeman could lead the Irish back to the top of college football.
As the 2025 season approaches, fans are anxious to see how this talented Notre Dame team will fare against stiff competition. The Spring Game on April 12th will give fans a sneak peek at what’s to come. With an exciting roster and high expectations, Notre Dame’s 2025 campaign is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory.
