Navy Midshipmen vs Army Black Knights prediction
I considered the Navy Midshipmen and the free bucket because a case can be made that they’re the better team, and they’ve won each of the last 4 games against Army. However, both Navy and Army are below average teams and if there was a time for Army to end this losing stretch, it would be here at home. Navy has had little to no success on the road, and Army has seen 4 of its 7 wins this season come at home. The Navy Midshipmen have lost and failed to cover each of their last 5 games. We’re only laying a bucket. Give me Army.
