College Football Picks – Notre Dame vs Navy
It’s a whole new week of college football. Last week was quite exciting and there was money to be made. We hope that you did well at the bookmaker’s.
Today we have isolated a game where we think there is an advantage on both the spread and the total.
Notre Dame vs Navy
This is a matchup which plays out every year and even though everyone knows that Notre Dame will pretty much win each year, the games are usually pretty tight, at least until the second half. Notre Dame owns a clear and distinct record of dominating this series by 81 games to just 13 with 1 tie. The last time Navy beat Notre Dame was back in 2016.
This year is a whole different ball game. Navy is undefeated and ranked, which is not usually the case. Notre Dame is also good and has just one blemish, a huge upset loss to Northern Illinois after an impressive win on the road at Texas A&M.
Quality of Opponents
This is one way we handicap games. We take a look at who each team has beat. Notre Dame has defeated Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and Louisville. The other victories came against cream puffs like Purdue and Stanford.
Navy has defeated Memphis in a shoot out. The rest of the teams they played aren’t any good. Those teams include North Alabama, Troy and Florida State.
What the Line Should be
This is the section where we make up our very own betting line before we take a look at the actual betting line and then make our pick as a result. We believe the betting line should be Notre Dame -12.5 points. The line is currently sitting at Notre Dame -13. There is no advantage using this metric.
Notre Dame is allowing just 12 PPG this year. Their defense is very good. Their offense doesn’t seem to score at will like it has in past years so this one should be grudge-fest. Navy allows 19.7 PPG.
Best Bets: With the total sitting at 52.5 points, we think it may be just a bit high. You can count on a lot of running in this game and plenty of punts as well. Notre Dame should manage to put up around 25-30 points and Navy will keep it interesting hanging about 20 on the board. The Midshipmen should cover the spread and the total should stay under.
