Standings update: we had 40 pickers select the correct prediction last week at ND 21-30; of those 40 who were correct, me, @irishnd31 and @Irish#1 were not among them, a truly impressive feat.

Anyways, to less important matters, it is starting to get very crowded at the top. We now have a nine-way tie for first place after we had six participants get last week's prediction correct who were sitting at 3 points: @Corry, @Irish2155, @JJRyan, @ozzman, @tko and @Pops Freshenmeyer are now tied at the top of our leaderboard with the other three who were in first as of last week.

We also had quite a few folks keeping pace by picking up their third win of the season, a total of 10 who joined the group at 3 points. So, plenty of people are still in it. We now have 18 tied at 3 points, with a guaranteed three games left, so there's still time for that group.

We have a whopping 129 posters who have gained at least one point, which is incredible participation. Way more than last year which had ~ 90 after the conclusion of the season. Thanks for your ongoing participation on these silly threads, I enjoy putting them together.

Go Irish! Beat Army!

My prediction: Army is going to come out motivated as hell, it's the biggest game this program has had in half a century. I expect a close game early on. Irish need to be efficient with the football and have success running the ball. If they put too much on Riley Leonard early, things might get a little dicey.

However, our defense has too much speed; I don't see ARmy scoring more than a couple of times. Mitch Evans is finally getting healthy and I think his run of big games continues.

ND 37 - Army 14

Where the speed will really show up is when we have the ball. Army can tackle but they can’t keep up with our skill position speed. ND 35 Army 14

34-13 feels right to me but I’ve undershot our margin the past few weeks so I went with Irish by 23-31

34-20 Irish I think they are gonna win but are focused on next week and making sure they win. A lot of the younger guys get more playing time to make sure our guys stay healthy.

Hate to break it to you, but this isn’t even the Black Knights biggest game they have on their schedule this year. It’s Navy. It’s always Navy. Every year. They’ll be up for it, they are a disciplined, focused team but let’s not oversell it. Let’s go Irish!
