Usually the Commander-in-Chief trophy is on the line in this game, but not so this year as Air Force already wrapped that up. Navy also has a 12 game winning streak in this series and a bowl to look forward to in San Diego. Army on the other hand has this game and it is bigger than any other bowl win they could have if they can win here today. Not sure if they can win, but all I ask for at these odds is for them to have the ball down less than a score with a chance to win. We have seen it in years past and I think this team is stronger than years past.

Jeff Monken is the new head coach at Army and he knows how important this game is. His background is quite impressive from his days under Paul Johnson at Navy and Georgia Tech to what he did with the Georgia Southern program for 3 years. You see Georgia Southern going 9-3 this year and that is a testament to Monken's work. Now it's been an average season at best for Army, but I don't see this Navy team as being over powering or something that Army can no stop or compete with. Both have similar stats on both sides of the ball and Angel Santiago is a bit under rated while Keenan Reynolds gets all the attention. Army can win the turnover battler here +2 on the season, Navy -3 and steal this game.
