Key Stats
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Notre Dame is ranked 88th in the country in total offense at 398.6 yards per game and averages 34.57 points per game. The Irish are led by dual-threat quarterback Riley Leonard, who has modest passing numbers at 169.3 yards per game with a 6-3 touchdown-interception ratio. Notre Dame is very balanced offensively, with 189 yards passing and 209 yards rushing per game.
Defensively, the Irish rank 54th in the nation in points allowed at 11.85 per game, which is among the better units in the country. Most recently, in their last two contests, Notre Dame has allowed only 20 total points to Georgia Tech and Stanford.
Navy Midshipman
The midshipman enters this game true to form as a rush-dominant unit. Navy’s rushing attack is ranked 7th in the nation at 274.8 yards per game and overall they rank 47th in total offense’ Quarterback Blake Horvath is another dual-threat quarterback with 10 passing touchdowns and leads Navy with 621 yards on the ground and a hefty 7.9 yards per rush.
On defense, Navy is ranked a respectable 72nd in the country at 19.66 per game. However, this will be the Midshipman’s biggest test on defense as they face by far their toughest opponent in the Fighting Irish.
Prediction
Sharp money continues to come in on Navy as the opening line of 17, has now dropped to 12.5. Navy is among the best in college football this season going 5-1 ATS and looking to avenge last year’s humiliating 42-3 defeat in South Bend.
Navy is averaging a robust 44.83 points per game, and this is no doubt outside Army, the game circled on their schedule. Notre Dame is by no means a pushover. They are ranked 12th in the nation and 5-2 ATS this season. However, the Irish are just 1-2-2 ATS in the last five games at Navy. We are buying a point or in some cases a point and a half to get us back a full touchdown spread.
Final Pick: Navy +14 Alternate Spread
