Player rushing with football ball
Notre Dame enters as heavy favorites with -650 moneyline odds (86.67% win probability) and a point total of 45.5. The Fighting Irish (9-1) have dominated this series historically, winning the last 15 matchups against Army.
The Fighting Irish offense features a dynamic rushing attack led by QB Riley Leonard (1,789 passing yards, 641 rushing yards, 25 total TDs) and RB Jeremiyah Love (720 yards, 6.3 YPC, 12 TDs). Their defense ranks second in success rate and leads the nation with 25 takeaways.
Notre Dame's defense has been ELITE this season. 😤 #GoIrish
Army (9-0) boasts the nation's top rushing offense at 334.9 yards per game, orchestrated by QB Bryson Daily's 1,000+ rushing yards and 21 touchdowns. The Black Knights excel in ball control, ranking first in passing efficiency and second in time of possession.
Despite Army's impressive 7-1-1 ATS record this season, Notre Dame's superiority on both sides of the ball should prove too much. The Fighting Irish's recent 51-14 win over Navy's similar triple-option offense suggests they're well-prepared to handle Army's rushing attack.
Prediction: Notre Dame's defensive strength and offensive firepower will overcome Army's ball-control strategy. Take Notre Dame -14 (-115).
