Navy vs. Army

Death, taxes and the Army-Navy game going UNDER are some of the surest things in life as this rivalry has stayed UNDER 16 years in a row no matter how low the oddsmakers make the posted total. The main reasons are both teams know how to defend the option offense because they use it themselves and both seldom throw a pass. Navy hasn't played since Nov. 19 when it upset Central Florida 17-14 and it stayed UNDER by 21.5 points. Army has allowed an average of only 11.8 points its past four games, including two games that went UNDER by 20.0 and 26.0 points. The Midshipmen lost starting quarterback Tai Lavatai to a knee injury in October and Xavier Arline took over and he has thrown a grand total of 10 passes while completing three in eight appearances this season. Army's QB, Tyheir Tyler, has completed eight passes in 10 games and has rushed for 601 yards on 120 carries. Army is 30-8 UNDER following a bye week and the Black Knights have stayed UNDER five of their past six after scoring at least 40 points their previous game. Navy is 5-1 UNDER following a win and I'll look for these trends to continue. Game of the Month: Play the UNDER.
