So far this season, Estime has been on fire, racking up five touchdowns in just four games. With Logan Diggs’ transfer to LSU, Estime seems to have firmly taken the reins as Notre Dame’s leading running back.

Looking at his track record, Estime’s scoring consistency is noteworthy. He’s managed to find the end zone in 10 of his past 12 games, and his prominence in the team’s offensive strategy has been increasingly evident in the early stages of the 2023 season.

Notre Dame vs. Ohio State Predictions

The outcome of this game hinges on quarterback performance and the battle up front between both lines. Will Ohio State QB Kyle McCord build on his momentum from last week, or will Notre Dame QB Sam Hartman be the game-changer in a tight contest? After all, Hartman was brought in (and given NIL deals) for this exact type of high-pressure game.

Both teams have question marks when it comes to the offensive line. So, which defense can exploit that vulnerability? It’s a tight call, but the inclination here is towards Notre Dame. With their talent, they might just gain the upper hand in a close game throughout.

Our bet? Taking the Irish plus the points. Here’s to hoping the home crowd gets plenty to cheer for, swaying the momentum in their favor and propelling them to victory.
