The current betting odds have Notre Dame listed as a 14.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Notre Dame has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-1 record overall which has them ranked as one of the best teams in the nation and in a playoff spot too. Their 1 loss this season was against Northern Illinois, but they have looked really good since that loss with a majority of their wins coming in blowout fashion. They have already played some neutral site games too and are 2-0 in those and they have a blowout win over Navy so defending the triple option won't be that difficult for them. Meanwhile, Army has looked great in their games this season with their 9-0 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them leading the AAC. They are 5-0 in their home games and have looked great on defense all year, but their offense hasn't looked as good lately as they haven't been scoring many points. They struggled more in their last game as they beat North Texas 14-3 and they have also had a weaker schedule too, not seeing any teams with the talent that Notre Dame has. The finish line is around the corner and since Notre Dame doesn't play in a conference, they can't afford to lose another game. They have been racking up a lot of style points in their wins already and they will bring their best effort for this Army team that is ranked and also undefeated. The best way to place a bet here is on Notre Dame to cover the spread in this game.

“We had to fight for all those yards. There weren’t any big plays. They did a great job against us, and fortunately we made enough plays to gut it out.” - Jeff Monken after his team’s win against UNT in their last game. 

“When your defense is playing as well as we’re playing, it allows you to still be in the game and be in a position to win, maybe when you weren’t having the success you want offensively to start the game. And so the defense is doing a heck of a job, and offense is doing a good job, man.” - Marcus Freeman after his team’s win against UVA in their last game.
