I know it's early but Navy definitely looks like a play tomorrow at -2.5. They covered both times they played Army easily and Army has lost eight of nine games. Navy is also at home. A puzzling line, in my opinon.

I don't think those games were lined. That being said, it's the whole beating a team 3 out of 3 times possibly? Idk, Navy looks like the play early thoughComment -
Really like Army in this spot. Can't let the Middies sweep all three games and live with it for the next year. A win here is the only way to salvage at least a little something out of a very disappointing season. Motivational edge goes to the Black Knights.Comment -
Hard thing to do beat a team 3 times in a season. Any sportComment -

Debating dropping a bunch of units on Navy ML but on paper they don't look that great at home.
Expecting Army to somehow break out of their 10 game slump because they are playing Navy for a third time isn't an angle I feel comfortable betting on..maybe will pass but hard to pass up a short home line on a meaningful game..oh wut the hell rightComment -
Still a 18 loss team couple with the aforementioned beating 3 times.Comment -
I went with EMU -2.5 instead of Navy...Comment
