Why Navy can cover
Navy has been one of the most impressive offensive teams in college football this season, scoring at least 34 points in every game. The Midshipmen remained unbeaten with a 51-17 win against Charlotte last week, easily covering the spread as 16.5-point favorites. Junior quarterback Blake Horvath had an efficient outing, completing 7 of 13 passes for 117 yards and three touchdowns.
Junior fullback Alex Tecza led a balanced rushing attack with eight carries for 68 yards and two touchdowns, while Horvath added 56 yards on 13 attempts. The Midshipmen are averaging a whopping 274.8 rushing yards per game this season, with Horvath racking up a team-high 621 yards. They have been an excellent team to back as underdogs in recent years, covering the spread at a 12-5-1 clip in their last 18 games in that role. See which team to pick here.
Why Notre Dame can cover
Notre Dame continues to show fans and voters that its Week 2 loss to Northern Illinois was a fluke, as the Fighting Irish have been impressive in almost every other game this season. They have rattled off a five-game winning streak since that loss, including a 31-13 win at Georgia Tech last week. Senior quarterback Riley Leonard completed 20 of 29 passes for 203 yards while rushing for 51 yards and two touchdowns.
Leonard has 1,182 passing yards, 456 rushing yards and 16 total touchdowns this season, leading an offense that is averaging 34.6 points per game. Notre Dame also has an elite defense that is surrendering just 11.9 points per game, so this will easily be the toughest test that Navy has faced this season. The Fighting Irish have won six straight meetings between these teams, including their 39-point blowout win last year. See which team to pick here.
