Army Form

Army come into this matchup on a three-game win streak that improved their record to 5-6.

The Black Knights rebounded from losing their season-opener by recording back-to-back victories.

However, their joy was short-lived as a 29-16 defeat at Syracuse sparked a five-game losing skid that included a 62-0 loss at #19 LSU.

Army were beaten the following week too, but they finally stopped the rot at the start of November when they beat #17 Air Force, 23-3.

The Black Knights then backed up that victory with a 17-14 victory over Holy Cross and a 28-21 win over Coastal Carolina.

Navy Form

Navy come into this game with a 5-6 record after suffering a blowout defeat in their most recent outing.

The Midshipmen travelled to Dublin, Ireland for their opening game of the season and were blown out by #13 Notre Dame, 42-3.

They went on to lose two of their next three games, but did string together a couple of wins in early October as they beat South Florida 44-30 and North Texas 27-24.

Navy failed to make it three-in-a-row as they were beaten 17-6 by #22 Air Force, and they then fell to a 32-18 defeat to Temple.

The Midshipmen did win two of their final three games though, beating UAB 31-6 and East Carolina 10-0 before losing 59-14 at SMU.

Verdict

These two teams lean on the run game and good defense, so points are likely to be at a premium.

And given the recent trend of the underdog covering, we like the Midshipmen with the points here.
