Notre Dame vs Navy Prediction and Expert Betting Picks For 10/26/24

The play of the service academies in college football this season has become a major storyline. That includes the unbeaten Navy Midshipmen, who will face off with Notre Dame in a marquee matchup from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Notre Dame is favored by 13.5 points in this game and we make our pick for this Notre Dame vs Navy game below as part of our college football best bets for this week.

Can Notre Dame Ground Navy Offense?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have gone 6-1 this season, putting them in position to contend for a College Football Playoff spot despite losing to Northern Illinois earlier in the year. Notre Dame’s defense has been a huge reason for its success this season, as they have allowed under 17 points in all but one of their games this year. But the Notre Dame defense will be tested this week against a Navy offense that is incredibly creative and will give the Fighting Irish a ton of looks to contend with.

Navy Looks to Stay Perfect In Biggest Test Yet

Navy is 6-0 overall this season and 4-0 in the American Athletic Conference. They, like fellow service academy Army, are ranked heading into this week’s action. And Navy will look to stay both unbeaten and ranked with a win over Notre Dame here. For Navy to get a win like that, they are going to need to win the point of attack, which would allow them to get to the edge in their running game and allow some of the more creative elements of their passing game to develop.

Notre Dame vs Navy Matchup History

Notre Dame and Navy have 96 total games logged against one another coming into this week’s clash. Notre Dame has dominated this series historically, going 82-13-1 against the Navy Midshipmen all-time. While Notre Dame is favored to add to their win total in this series here, they are also facing one of the best Navy teams in recent memory and will have to bring their best to beat Navy this time around.

Notre Dame vs Navy Pick & Prediction

Our best bet for this highly-anticipated Notre Dame vs Navy matchup is for Navy to cover the spread as a double-digit underdog. While Notre Dame will be expected to win this contest in the end, Navy’s offense has been one of the most exciting in all of college football, bar none. Expect Navy to do enough scoring to stay within two touchdowns here in a game that could come down to the wire.
