The Navy Midshipmen (4-7) take on the Army Black Knights (5-6) Saturday in Philadelphia at 3 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Army vs. Navy odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The final game of the college football regular season has arrived and the Army-Navy game is always special. Everyone loves this fast-moving, run the ball every down game between 2 great institutions. Always a hard game to call, the best part comes at the end when the opposing teams sing the school songs facing each other's cadets.
Air Force has already locked up the Commander-in-Chief trophy after beating both teams. But there is only one Army-Navy game. It is not about hatred like Ohio State vs. Michigan. It is simply about pride, honor, respect, and competition. After this game is over, many of these men will be deployed overseas together. But for one day, they are combatants facing off against each other on the playing field. This is not life, it is sports. But what a special sports event it is.
