Texas A&M football plays Notre Dame on Saturday night in primetime in one of the most important games of Week 1 of the college football season.

The No. 20 Aggies will take on the No. 7 Fighting Irish in College Station, Texas, home of ESPN’s “College GameDay” in Week 1. Former Texas A&M quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel will also be on site as a guest celebrity on the show.

Texas A&M is in its first season under new coach Mike Elko, a former Aggies defensive coordinator who was hired from Duke this offseason. Elko brought in an influx of talent through the transfer portal and returns former five-star quarterback Conner Weigman, who suffered a season-ending injury against Auburn in last season’s SEC opener.

Notre Dame, meanwhile, is led by Duke transfer quarterback Riley Leonard, a dynamic doubles player who played under Elko for the Blue Devils last season.

Both teams are hopeful for the new 12-team College Football Playoff, and a convincing non-conference win could help them achieve their goals.

Texas A&M vs Notre Dame Predictions

Here are the game predictions, courtesy of the South Bend Tribune:

Mike Beraridno: Notre Dame 24, Texas A&M 16. Riley Leonard and company start fast, bring the decibel level down to an annoying level at Kyle Field. One of the best defenses in the country holds it there.

Tom Noie: Notre Dame 17, Texas A&M 6. The Irish need to dominate the defense and do enough offense to not lose this game. Just get in, get out and come home 1-0.

Austin Hough: Notre Dame 17, Texas A&M 14. Mitch Jeter fires a field goal as time expires for the win, and Irish fans around the world let out a collective sigh of relief.
