More from Rolling Stone
Both teams went 8-4 this season, but the No. 21-ranked Fighting Irish finished the season strong with five wins in their last six games. The No. 19 Gamecocks also had a bit of an uptick to finish the season, beating top-ranked Tennessee and Clemson. In other words, it’s a very well-matched send-off for both programs — and likely a great watch for any college football fans.
Below is everything you need to know about the 2022 Gator Bowl, including how to watch Notre Dame vs. South Carolina online, as well as start time and betting odds. Plus, we’ve also found a way to stream the Gator Bowl online for free (legally).

The 2022 Gator Bowl kicks off today, Friday, Dec. 30 at 3:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. PT.
Notre Dame vs. South Carolina Odds, Prediction, History
Oddsmakers have a tough job of predicting Notre Dame vs. South Carolina. Besides their similar seasons, both teams are missing some key players due to NFL opt-out decisions and transfers. Namely, South Carolina won’t have its cornerback Cam Smith, and Notre Dame will be missing defensive lineman Isaiah Foskey.
Because of this, betting odds for Notre Dame vs. South Carolina are very close. As of writing, Caesar’s Sportsbook has Notre Dame as the slight favorite with moneyline odds of -165 against South Carolina’s +140.
The Fighting Irish and the Gamecocks have faced off just four times in the past, with their most recent meeting all the way back in 1984. Notre Dame has won three of these four previous games, so South Carolina is no doubt eager to improve their record against the Fighting Irish.
