Notre Dame and Navy take American college football overseas, to the Emerald Isle, to open this season with a meeting in Dublin Saturday morning (American time).
The Irish, coming off back-to-back 8-5 seasons under aptly-named Coach Kelly, were favored by 17 points over the Middies, who have won three of the last five games vs. the Golden Domers.
Notre Dame has not been a great chalk bet lately and their foes have been excellent as a double-digit underdog. Since 2002, Navy is 14-4 ATS in this situation.
