Ok, it's the first game of the BOWL SEASON! enjoy.
We got Utah ahead of the leaderboard early, but there is no way NAVY will be shut down. Utah has lots of holes on the DL, as if NAVY can contain the inside, and get to the second level, anyone of the 3 backs will be able to get huge yardage.
Utah has a decent running game as well, and so maybe the under looks like the better selection.
Also reports suggest that since San Diego is a very huge Naval city, it's expected to be a home crowd. Over 45,000 Naval cadets are expected. Utah has a very difficult time to offset losses at the line as well. Though they can surely run the ball on Navy, it's not going to have the edge like Navy to blow them out as some expect.
But were going with the actual better team to win this game.
pick
NAVY +8
