Army vs Holy Cross Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, but it’s fair to say Army is the better side, and it’s more trustworthy with covers in 6 of its last 9 games. Holy Cross is coming off a strong win over American, but it’s still a below average team on both sides of the ball and is the underdog in every game. Oddsmakers are telling you what they think of Holy Cross on a nightly basis. Army has won 7 of the last 8 games against Holy Cross. I’m rolling with Army in this spot.
