The current betting odds have Navy listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Navy has looked great in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 7-1 conference record which had them right near the top of the American Conference. They haven't played in any neutral site games this season so this will be their first. Meanwhile, Army has looked good in their games this season with their 6-5 record overall and their 4-4 conference record which had them right in the middle of the American Conference. They haven't played in any neutral site games either so this will be their first one this season. Army was actually a better road team than they were at home this season, but they were also really up and down throughout most of the year. They didn't really have a great defense this year and their offense didn't look good at times. Navy has a much better defense to lean on in this game and they had a really good season, finishing near the top of the American in a really tough conference. They struggled against the top teams in the conference, but their offense has been a lot more consistent, and they also have a decent passing game to make their offense more dangerous. Navy has been the best military team this season and it hasn't been close, look for them to roll Army in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Navy to cover the spread in this game.

"All those guys had good seasons, for sure. I'm happy for all those guys that they got recognized.” - Jeff Monken on 4 of his players being selected as American Conference All-Stars.

"But with a degree from the Naval Academy, all that stuff comes on the back end. It takes some foresight for kids to see that and families to see that. But they look at them as a special place, world-class education, one of the best leadership schools in the world, opportunity to serve your country." - Brian Newberry on Navy.
