Betting Insights And Predictions

NBC Sports Bet’s Brad Thomas is leaning towards Notre Dame -14:

“Bryson Daily is a really special quarterback; there’s zero doubt about it. With an SOS of 124, it feels like the numbers are slightly inflated. Army has yet to play a ranked team, and their best win is arguably against North Texas. A North Texas team who just lost 48-27 to UTSA.

Statistically, Army is good. Their only glaring weakness is against the run. It might be the only weakness, but defensively, they are 82nd in run success. Notre Dame run the ball and run the ball well.

It also helps that the Fighting Irish boast an elite defense. Although it seems like a lot of points, we are still getting a three-point discount from the opening line of -17.”
