Navy vs. Notre Dame

Navy is all about running the football, but they run into a powerhouse Notre Dame defense. The Irish rank #29 in yards allowed and #21 in points (18.7 per game). Navy's offense has taken a step back in 2018, slipping to #81 in total yards despite facing average defenses. Navy is 12-5 UNDER the total on natural grass, plus 16-5 UNDER after allowing 40+ points in their previous game. The Midshipmen are also 9-2 UNDER the total at neutral sites. Notre Dame's ground attack will do well against a Navy defense that is ranked #75 against the run. The Fighting Irish will get a boost at running back as Jafar Armstrong (245 rushing yards, five touchdowns) is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last two games with a knee infection. Notre Dame is on an 8-3 run UNDER the total, plus 7-3 UNDER at neutral sites. Play the UNDER.
