Army vs. Navy Prediction

I’m on Army in this game. We all know what the Army/Navy rivalry is about, and it’s one of the more storied rivalries in all of college sports. That being said, Navy has had a history of beating up on Army, winning 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings, including the first meeting this season, but this game means far more to Army because it’s a rivalry game for one, but also, it’s a revenge game and a big one as the win here would pull Army level with American at the top of the Patriot League standings with the rematch with American on deck that would be huge for the winner of that game to be in the driver’s seat to win the Patriot League regular season title. I also trust the scoring depth of Army far more in this game so give me Army and the points.
