Notre Dame rises as 2027 CFP favorite ahead of Wisconsin matchup

College Football Playoff Notre Dame Fighting Irish Wisconsin Badgers CJ Carr Lambeau Field

Notre Dame has emerged as a co-favorite to win the 2027 College Football Playoff National Championship, according to BetOnline Sports & Casino data. The Fighting Irish currently share the top spot with Oregon at 7/1 odds, while Texas has slipped to 17/2.

Much of the optimism surrounding the program is tied to sophomore quarterback CJ Carr. Following a breakout 2025 campaign where he threw for 2,741 yards and 24 touchdowns, Carr is viewed as a central figure in Notre Dame’s championship aspirations.

In immediate competition, No. 4 Notre Dame is scheduled to face Wisconsin at Lambeau Field on September 6, 2026. DraftKings Sportsbook lists Notre Dame as a 20.5-point favorite with a moneyline of -1800, while Wisconsin sits as a +1000 underdog.
