The betting odds reflect Notre Dame’s favoritism in this matchup, pegging them as heavy favorites with a spread of -15.5. However, given Army’s undefeated streak, the generous points could tempt some bettors. The total sits at 44.5, with slight preference for the over, indicating expectations for a relatively high-scoring affair.
Bryson Daily QB vs. Riley Leonard QB
Bryson Daily, a quarterback for the Army Black Knights, has an impressive season as he has earned a perfect passer rating of 204.3, completing 644 passing yards and earning 7 touchdowns and 1 interception. His accuracy and ability to perform under pressure assist him in the Army’s perfect season thus far. Daily’s deep balls and movement ability can be a major problem for the Notre Dame defense.
On the other side, Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard registered 1,789 yards pass, 12 touchdowns, and 64.7% of passes completed. He has indeed suffered more sacks and turnovers than Daily, but Leonard’s toughness and resume could be the difference in seeking to penetrate Army’s stout defence. This season, his performance has proven that he is up to the challenge that comes with playing in the big games.
Once Bryson Daily and Riley Leonard meet on the gridiron, it will be relative to the styles of both characters. Daily is known for his big play capabilities but on the other hand Leonard is a slow and steady player. The outcome of the game will depend on which quarterback will be served by his style of play more than the other, thus making each possession more important to the story of the game.
Army’s Ground and Air Attack
In their last five games, the Black Knights have shown remarkable consistency, outscoring opponents like Tulsa and UAB by wide margins. Running back Kanye Udoh and wide receiver Casey Reynolds have been instrumental, combining for over a thousand yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. This potent mix of rushing and receiving options gives Army multiple avenues to penetrate Notre Dame’s defenses.
Notre Dame’s Balanced Offensive Threat
Notre Dame has also been impressive, with victories over teams like Florida State and Navy by substantial margins. Running back Jeremiyah Love, with his 12 touchdowns and dynamic running, poses a significant threat every time he touches the ball. Wide receiver Beaux Collins provides a reliable target for Leonard, making Notre Dame’s offense as balanced as it is deadly.

Army vs. Notre Dame Betting Prediction
Given the context of the two teams, their form, and the game’s importance, this contest promises to be one for the books. Yes, the odds heavily favor Notre Dame; however, that does not take away the fact that Army remains undefeated and has a lot of grit. The spread seems a bit too high for an Army side that has not just raised the standard but exceeded it time and time again.
This game might not be as one sided as what the odds show. Taking Army to cover the spread of +15.5 might not be a bad gamble considering how they have done this season. For those interested in the total, going with the OVER feels right, especially considering that both teams can score easily. In the end, this game will come down to how mentally tough each team is, and while it looks like the Irish will walk away with the W, it will be a close encounter as well.
Score Prediction: Notre Dame Fighting Irish 30, Army Black Knights 20.
