Bowl season is just around the corner, but there's one more game to take
care of first: the annual Army-Navy Game. The No. 21 Navy Midshipmen
(9-2 SU, 8-3 ATS) will host the Army Black Knights (2-9 SU, 4-6-1 ATS)
this Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Kick-off is at
3 PM ET on CBS, with Navy laying 22 points at press time.
Bovada Online Sportsbook currently has the line at Navy -21 1/2-points and the total at 50. The
line has stayed pretty steady since a 1/2-point drop early in the week.

These two service teams first met in 1890 and have played every year
since 1930. Each side has enjoyed its dominant periods, but for now,
Navy is in full command of this rivalry, winning each of the last 13
games at 8-5 ATS. However, the Black Knights have covered three of the
past four games, including their 17-10 loss to the Midshipmen (–16.5
away) in 2014. The under is also on a nine-game winning streak in this
matchup.
As usual, Navy is powered by the “wishbone” triple-option offense of
head coach Ken Niumatalolo, now in his eighth year at Annapolis. Army
also runs the triple-option under second-year coach Jeff Monken – both
he and Niumatalolo were assistants under Paul Johnson when Johnson led
Navy to four straight bowl appearances in the mid-2000s.
