An important late-season game kicks off from the Big Apple this weekend as Notre Dame squares off against Army. Here’s how the oddsmakers are predicting the game.

Notre Dame is 9-1 and ranks 11th nationally in scoring and 12th in rushing and firmly in the College Football Playoff picture, but with little margin for error as selection draws closer.

Army is one of college football’s three remaining undefeated teams, ranking last nationally in passing and first in rushing, and so far it’s been more than enough, sitting 5th in FBS in scoring margin per game. Notre Dame, for its part, is second.

What do the wiseguys expect will happen when the Fighting Irish and Black Knights meet?

Spread consensus picks, score prediction

A slight majority of bettors expect the Fighting Irish to take care of the Black Knights, according to the spread consensus picks for the game.

Notre Dame is getting 53 percent of bets to win the game and cover the double-digit spread.

The other 47 percent of wagers project Army will either win outright in an upset, or keep the game to two touchdowns or fewer in a loss.

The game’s implied score suggests a comfortable win for the Irish over the Black Knights.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Notre Dame will defeat Army by a projected score of 30 to 15.

Our early pick: Notre Dame -14.5 ... We picked the Irish to cover a big line against Navy a few weeks ago and will do so here against another service academy as Notre Dame’s second-ranked pass defense should easily ground Army’s non-existent vertical game and devote those resources to stopping the run.
