This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF MONTH on Navy.

This year's annual battle mean's a little bit more, as each side enters at 5-6. The winner will become "eligible." In this evenly matched contest that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to grab the points.

These teams have five wins each over the last ten in the series, but this one will mean a lot to the Midshipmen after Army won 20-17 in OT last year as a 2.5-point dog.

Tai Lavatai and Xavier Arline did not play in last week's blowout loss to SMU for Navy, but each is expected to be available for this one.

Army last played back on November 18th, and I think the Black Knights come out flat here. In their 28-21 win over Coastal Carolina, they only attempted two passes.

Navy has been pretty stout against the run, allowing 121.91 YPG.

With their two senior QB's available and playing with revenge from last season, I do indeed like the MIDSHIPMEN to cover in 2023.

Good luck, NP
