Notre Dame disposed of Indiana in the first round of the College Football Playoff, winning 27-17 to advance to the Sugar Bowl to face Georgia in the CFP Quarterfinals. 

The Fighting Irish continues to climb the odds board as a National Championship contender with the dominant win against the Hoosiers, setting up a titanic quarterfinals matchup against Georgia. 

The New Year’s Day quarterfinals matchup is poised to be a coin flip with plenty of betting action centered around both sides as the Bulldogs will integrate in backup quarterback Gunner Stockton against the Notre Dame defense, who have looked like one of the most dominant teams in the country. 

The line opened at some books with Notre Dame as a small favorite, and has flipped to Georgia laying just a point in what should have plenty of two-way action leading up to kickoff in a week-and-a-half. 

For now, here are the updated National Championship odds for Notre Dame ahead of the quarterfinals as well as the kickoff information and opening odds for the Sugar Bowl.
