Army vs Notre Dame Prediction
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are the more talented team, and they're 8-2 ATS on the season, so there's reason to expect another comfortable win. The problem is Army has passed every test up to this point and plays great ball on both sides of the ball. Army has also outright won its last 3 games as an underdog. Army can't match up with Notre Dame talent-wise, so this probably won't be an upset win, but 14.5 points is too much to pass up given what the Black Knights have shown this season. The hook could be key. Give me the points.
