The Irish were off last week, giving them time to rebound from an upset loss at BYU in Week 7 that dropped them to 6-1 on the season. Navy, meanwhile, is 2-5 (1-4 American) and coming off losses to North Texas and UTSA.Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55: Kickoff is set for noon ET at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., the home of the NFL's New England Patriots.

Notre Dame's defense is a big factor in this projection. The Irish are tied for fourth nationally in scoring defense, giving up just 13.4 points per game. Navy, meanwhile, ranks just seventh in the American Conference in scoring offense with 29.7 points per game.
The Navy offense is built on the run game as the Midshipmen average 308 yards per game on the ground, ranking third nationally. That keeps the clock running and also plays into Notre Dame's strength as the Irish rank third nationally in rushing defense, giving up just 67 yards per game in that category. The computer is calling for 50 combined points as the Under is the value side 67% of the time.
