It's almost game day for the Fighting Irish. In the biggest game of the 2019 football season, No. 7 Notre Dame heads to Athens to take on No. 3 Georgia inside Sanford Stadium. The Fighting Irish are nearly a two touchdown underdog to the Bulldogs and very few are giving Notre Dame a chance to keep this one close, let alone get a win on the road in a hostile environment.

So, what's the final prediction for Saturday night's matchup between two of the best teams in all of college football?

247Sports anchorman Kevin Boilard and Irish Illustrated insider Tom Loy team up to discuss exactly that.

Kevin Boilard: "If Notre Dame wants to keep the playoff flame burning, the Irish have to take down Georgia on the road this weekend. Joining me now is Tom Loy of Irish Illustrated on 247Sports. Tom, what's your final score prediction for Saturday's matchup?"

Tom Loy: "You know, this is a tough one. I've gone back and forth, as you know Kevin, for a while on this one. At one point I thought Notre Dame could win, then I thought Georgia would win. In the end, I settled on Georgia 30, Notre Dame 27, in a game that I think is going to be outstanding. I know nobody's giving Notre Dame a shot. I think Notre Dame could win this game. I don't have them winning it, but I think it's going to be great. It's going to come down to the wire, go back and forth. I love what what Georgia has across the board. Jake Fromm, D'Andre Swift. I love Charlie Woerner as a blocker at tight end. George Pickens is a five-star talent in my book all the way. So, Notre Dame's got their hands full, no question about it. Ian Book needs to be decisive. He needs to get the ball out of his hands, get the ball in the hands of the playmaker. In the end, the defense is going to have to tackle. Do not give D'Andre Swift second chances. If so, he's going to eat you alive. I like this this matchup across the board. I think Notre Dame can absolutely hang, but Ian book is going to have to play outstanding. I mean, he needs to cement himself as one of the nation's best passers and quarterbacks across the country, otherwise it's going to be a long night. There's not going to be a ton of room to run for the running backs for the Fighting Irish, but I think if Ian Book has the game of his career, Notre Dame could actually leave Athens with a victory."
