This is a big game for this team in their effort to get it going in the right direction once again.<\/p>\n<p>The Midshipmen offense is run by senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs. Dobbs isn\u2019t having a bad year, but it is a little down compared to last season. Dobbs is averaging 2.9 yards per carry, down from 3.8 last year. Dobbs is only completing 48.6% of his passes on the year. This is still the ninth best rushing attack in the nation, but they aren\u2019t quite gashing teams the way they have in the past couple years. I would expect this offensive line to improve in their blocking schemes as the year moves along, and this offense will likely be even better by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Navy defense has done a nice job so far this year. This unit is ranked 18<sup>th<\/sup> in the nation in points allowed per game as they give up just 18.2 points on average. The secondary is full of veterans who know their role, which allows this unit to be one of the best in the nation against the pass.<\/p>\n<p>The linebackers are inexperienced and that has been the largest weakness of this defense thus far this year.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betdsi.eu\/?cmpid=13386_2060\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/banners.betdsi.com\/images\/football_dsi_250_250_3.gif?cmpid=13386_2060\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame have been improving as the season goes along. They have won three straight after starting 1-3. Brian Kelly\u2019s team must continue to progress if they are going to get into a decent bowl game this year.<\/p>\n<p>Dayne Crist is the main reason Notre Dame has been able to have success on offense this year. Crist has already thrown 14 touchdowns this year and he has only five interceptions. Crist has provided that consistent solid leader that this team needs. Armando Allen is a little dinged up, but he will probably play on Saturday. This offense hasn\u2019t been too dynamic this year because they haven\u2019t been able to stay balanced. In order to be a very good offense, Notre Dame will need to run the ball more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Notre Dame defense hasn\u2019t been up to par so far this season. The defense lacks the team speed necessary to contend against the best teams in the nation. The Fighting Irish are 82<sup>nd<\/sup> in the nation in total defense, allowing 386 yards per game. The pass defense has been terrible. Notre Dame even allowed 277 yards through the air to Western Michigan last Saturday. Right now this defense just isn\u2019t performing as well as they must. If this unit doesn\u2019t improve, this team will be behind the eight ball against the best teams on their schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I expect both defenses to struggle in this game. The Midshipmen should be able to run the ball well against this Notre Dame front seven. At the same time, Navy\u2019s inexperienced linebackers will likely struggle with this Notre Dame offense. I like the over in this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Navy vs. Notre Dame Score Prediction: <\/strong>Notre Dame 31 Navy 27<\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR\u00a0<a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
