[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n It may be a sign that the Irish are peaking at just the right time as they prepare to face a Navy team that is in a good position to grab a postseason berth if it can avoid a few potential pit falls.<\/p>\n The Midshipmen snapped a two-game losing skid with a 24-21 win over Pittsburgh their last time out, on a\u00a0Nick Sloan 30-yard field goal as time expired.<\/p>\n The option did just enough, as Keenan Reynolds passed for one touchdown and ran in another, finishing 8-of-18 for 105 yards and a team-high 93 rushing yards.<\/p>\n As a team the Midshipmen rolled up around 330 yards, including 220 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n With that win, Navy now needs just\u00a0 two more victories to become bowl eligible, but they will need their option to produce once again against an Irish defense that has been pretty stingy at times this season.<\/p>\n Notre Dame defeated Navy a season ago, and will probably win again, barring some major Irish breakdown.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the Midshipmen have proven they can “be all they can be” against the better teams, so I’m inclined to take advantage of the points spread here.<\/p>\n Nah, just kidding , go with Notre Dame as the “sink” Navy in this one at home.<\/p>\n Notre 45, Navy 17<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Navy vs Notre Dame NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping The Navy Midshipmen will take their tricky and effective option on the road to face a No. 25 Fighting Irish team that will look to destroy another one of America’s armed forces on Saturday in South Bend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":65132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[3256,2741,19673,1439,2745,60302,19674,906,1445],"class_list":["post-68242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-fighting-irish","tag-midshipmen","tag-midshipmen-vs-fighting-irish","tag-navy","tag-navy-midshipmen","tag-navy-midshipmen-notre-dame-fighting-irish","tag-navy-midshipmen-vs-notre-dame-fighting-irish","tag-notre-dame","tag-notre-dame-fighting-irish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68242"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68282,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68242\/revisions\/68282"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
