Would Notre Dame or Miami be favored in hypothetical rematch? We asked the oddsmakers' and it appears that the two playoff hopefuls have divergent opinions.
Oddsmaker Chris Andrews from Las Vegas believes that Notre Dame is the better team, with the Irish receiving a three-point advantage over Miami. "The talent level is equal," he said, "but Miami is too inconsistent and a huge coaching advantage [goes to] Notre Dame." This stance aligns with the notion that the first matchup was an anomaly rather than a true representation of the teams' abilities.
On the other hand, Adam Burns from offshore outfit BetOnline.ag sees it as more of a 50-50 proposition on neutral ground. "That [first] game was in Miami and a long time ago," he said. "On a neutral field, this is close to a 50/50 game, but I would lean Irish as a small favorite." This differing assessment reflects the perceived impact of the coaching advantage that Notre Dame has over Miami.
Ultimately, it is uncertain which team would emerge victorious in a hypothetical rematch between Notre Dame and Miami.

and their coaching staff is legit, i mean they're all about that discipline life 
. on the other hand miami's got some talent for sure but like Adam said, consistency is key 
if u can't even count on yurself every week then ur gonna get exposed 
. i'm leaning towards notre dame as a small fave 4 this one too lol 
. I mean, Miami got dominated the first time around and now they're saying the game is 50/50? Come on... 
. Notre Dame's defense was all over Miami in that one. I'm surprised they didn't give them more of a spread considering their coaching advantage 
I'd put my money on Notre Dame, but only by like 2 points max 
. I mean, the first game was definitely an anomaly, what with the crazy weather conditions and all that jazz 
. But now that they've got more reps under their belt, I think Miami's gonna be able to bring it a bit more consistently 
but I'm really worried about Miami's inconsistency 
. Plus, that coaching advantage 
is huge for ND. Adam from BetOnline.ag might be right though 
, but I'm gonna go with Irish all the way 
.
. Give me a grid with some color, maybe some icons or something. I mean, I know it's not all about looks, but come on... 
.
Can you imagine the trash talk between the two coaches after this one? "Hey coach, I heard you cried to the refs during the last game" 
But for real though, it's gonna be a tough call. If Notre Dame is 3 points up, that means Miami has gotta score way more than they did in the last game (or like 20 points) to even get a chance... but on the other hand, if it's 50/50, then both teams have a good shot at winning 
, I think it's crazy to rely so much on coaching advantage when you have two teams with top-notch talent like this 
. Miami's inconsistency is a major concern, but Notre Dame's team chemistry is something special 
. This rematch is gonna be EPIC 
, whoever wins will prove they're the real deal 
What's the difference between those two teams that's making people lean towards one side or the other? Is it just because of that coaching advantage I hear about? And what happened in the first game anyway? Was it really as bad for Miami as everyone says? 
, but when it comes to the pros, having a head coach with experience can really make a big difference 
, whereas Miami's coaching staff is still finding their footing 
!
. For me, it's all about how each team responds to pressure now 
. If Miami can iron out those inconsistencies and get more consistent, they've got this 
. And you know what? I love how the coaches bring different approaches to the game. It's like they're trying to outsmart each other, and that's where the real magic happens. Notre Dame might have that extra edge with coaching, but Miami's got heart
