Comments
Army has played close in most every game this season, including the game at Michigan. Only the loss at Hawaii, which ended about 3:30 am ET, was by more than 10 points. Navy, on the other hand, has steam-rolled most of its opponents this season. The Mids played a tougher schedule than Army and have won more games. Navy likely wins this game but don’t discount Army. The Army defense, which has been a liability this season, will likely play better versus the Mids since they are familiar with the Navy offense. However, the same can be said about the Navy defense. This one should be fairly close but, again, Navy most likely wins.
