The Midshipmen are coming off a 38-14 win over the Temple Owls as 13.5-point favorites to improve to 4-1 ATS in their last five games. They have also been a solid UNDER play at 5-2 UNDER in their last seven, but their last two games have gone OVER the posted total.

Black Knights, Midshipmen have both struggled on road

Neither side in this matchup has done well away from home lately. Army is 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS in its last 10 road games. Navy is 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS in its last seven road games and 6-5 ATS in the last 11.

When favored, the Black Knights are 14-2 SU and 10-6 ATS in their last 16. However, they’re only 2-4 ATS in their last six as the favorite. The Midshipmen are 1-5 SU and 4-2 ATS in their last six as an underdog. In the last 15 games as an underdog, Navy is 2-13 SU and 7-8 ATS.

In last year’s Army-Navy Game, the Black Knights shut out the Midshipmen 15-0 as 7.5-point favorites. In the last five matchups, Army is 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS. Prior to those five games, Navy had dominated the series with 14 straight wins while going 8-6 ATS.

Last 15 Army-Navy games have gone UNDER the total

If you’re a totals bettor, the trends are heavily pointing to the UNDER. Not only have Army and Navy both been strong UNDER plays this season but the last 15 games in this series have all gone UNDER the posted total.

The favorite has usually proven the oddsmakers right in this matchup, but it hasn’t led to big profits for bettors. In the last 10 matchups between Army and Navy, the favorite is 8-2 SU but only 3-7 ATS.
