Navy at Notre Dame

A pair of run-oriented teams meet in South Bend, with offenses that can chew up yards and the clock. Navy has looked strong on both sides of the ball this season with a defense allowing only 15 points per game. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds has rushed for 488 yards and nine touchdowns as the leader of Navy's option running attack. Navy is on a 6-1 run UNDER the total on the road, as well as 19-7 UNDER on natural grass. They run into a strong Notre Dame defense, one that held Texas to three points and shut down the Georgia Tech option attack, allowing 22 points. They allowed 24 points and 296 total yards to the up-tempo Clemson offense last week. The UNDER is 34-16-1 in the Fighting Irish's last 51 vs. a team with a winning record. These teams are a combined 13-6 UNDER the total in October and this shapes up as a battle of field goals and few points. This one finishes UNDER.
