Florida State has fallen off a cliff the last three seasons. For the first time since the 1970s, the Seminoles have had three straight losing seasons. Every Florida State fan is waiting for the turnaround to happen, but it's going to be hard to start off on the right foot when they play Notre Dame.

The Fighting Irish are looking to get back into the College Football Playoff and they are going to need every win possible to get there. Notre Dame is the No. 9 ranked team in the country and a strong Week 1 showing could put to sleep a couple doubters. 

A lot is on the line in this season opener, and it is sure to have big ramifications either way it goes.

Notre Dame vs. Florida State Prediction and Pick

Notre Dame should win this game easily. The Fighting Irish are debuting Jack Coan as their new starting quarterback, but they should still be as formidable on offense as they’ve been in years prior. Florida State isn’t going to have the offensive firepower to keep up with Notre Dame. The Seminoles scored under 24 points five times last season and lost every game. It’s hard to win when points aren’t being put up on your end and points are being given up on the other side. 

The Irish are going to win this game. I don’t think they’ll cover, and I’m going to roll with the under. Notre Dame had one of the stingiest defenses last season and it will show it off to open the season.
