Army/Navy Game

[LexingtonBrass]

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this game?

Here's my take on it, Navy has been a cover machine for me all year, however, I expect the injuries to starting QB Worth and Running Back Gulley to play a big part in Navy's struggles. Sophmore QB Zach Abey will be making his first career start, with only a week to prepare for this game. He looked pretty bad last week throwing two interceptions in the Temple game and struggling to make first downs. Add the pressure of this game to the mix, I see him having a hard time finding a rhythm early.

Army sports a stout defense, but also faces some injuries in the secondary. Navy's passing game, however, is dismal. The coach even said if they are forced to throw more than 10 times a game, they are likely off their game plan. I think Army's defense is going to provide all kinds of problems for Navy who is going to struggle moving the ball.

I also like the fact that Army has not beaten Navy since 2001, add that motivation factor and the death of their teammate Jackson. Not to mention Army has had three weeks to prepare for this game and is well rested.

Navy is 1-4 last 5 games ATS vs Army

I expect a close, tight game, with turnovers, team defense and missed FG's being the difference.

I am waiting to see if the line will go back up to +6.5 or even +7 then I am going to jump on Army. With something small sprinkled on the ML for Army to win SU.

Play Now: Under 47 for 3 units

GL and looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

I agree with you on the Army play. I don't expect it to get to 6.5.

Everyone loves Navy's run game but Army's has been just as good (granted against a weaker schedule). The injuries are pretty extensive and the line has dipped accordingly. I don't think it dipped enough. Army ML!

This year Navy was ranked as high as 17th but lost Will Werth in the Temple game
after Worth probably had as terrific a season up tp that point at QB as any Navy
QB including George Welsh or Tom Forrestall All-Americans in the 50's. IMO only Staubach
in 1963 had a better season, much better! He was a far better
passer & as good a runner as Reynolds who did get some recognition last year.

Will Wirth will not be in the lineup he'll be missed he made navy go.
Army isn't that bad this year, I'm taking Army +7!

I try to keep things simple, try not to overthink although I can and do have lapses

Navy has been the much better team playing against superior competition. They even beat Houston, the type of team Army hasn't competed with in generations. I think the team regroups and is more that prepared for and capable of beating Army. They just compete at different levels in 2016, I'm playing Navy. I'm somewhat shocked the line is so low.

I agree, everyone is jumping on Army, but they are terrible. Their defense is good but the injuries in the secondary will hurt. Everyone I see is also on the Under, the game usuallybis low,scoring, but when every post I see is playing the under, my gut says it will be over. Even with the injuries to Navy's QB and RB, I think Navy can score on this defense. People are overreacting to the 2 picks the backup QB threw but that was against a much better Temple team and he wasn't expecting to play. With a week of first team reps, my gut tells me Navy covers and the game goes over. Having said that, don't know of I have the balls to put down cash on either play LOL. Does anyone know,who Megalocks,has for this game, he is usually very good!

Its down to 4.5 at Heritage. You should have taken the 6 earlier today.

Navy very banged up, Army has had good rest and is tired of losing to this team. I see a tight, low scoring game.

Took Army +6/UNDER 47 earlier today.

Navy's entire backfield is injured. And then some.

QB - Worth - Out
Slotback - Bonner - Doubtfull
Slotback - Romine - Questionable
Slotback - Gully - Out
Slotback - Walker - Questionable
Slotback - Brown - Out

Army's had a lot of time to heal and prepare; I can't recommend a side. The spread is 12 points from where it should be when those guys are healthy. I gotta pass.

Just mad I didn't jump on them when I saw it was +13, I believe. Before the Wirth injury!

 

[Greenbacks]

No bet for me.

But i`ll be rooting for Army.

Go Army beat Navy!

Good luck!

Opened 10 and was quickly bet down. Very few got a sniff of that price.

Army looks to be in command of this game. Navy is not a 2nd half, come from behind type of team. Not to mention this kid Abey looks rattled to the bone.

Army gets the ball to start 2nd half!

Give me Army +3 for 1 unit

 

[TimmyRules]

Only goes over if turnovers in own territory or special teams plays
Abey is freaking out...feel sorry for the kid.

Will Worth ran for 175 yds, vs Notre Dame & averages 12 yds per pass attempt for the year,
with 62% completions. Worth ran for 1200 yards this year as QB, 2nd leading rusher had 480 yds.

Navy trying to win without Worth is like the Democrats trying to win with Mrs. Clinton!

Navy -2.5 looks like a super bet..gl

 

[8ate]

[8ate]

Anyone else notice all the late steam on Navy (full game) to close at -6? Guessing that a good portion of that action was by those playing for a middle who grabbed Army early, or from those making a value play on Navy.

Before the steam, Pinnacle and 5Dimes had bottomed out at -4.5, whereas CRIS and Bookmaker/DSI hit -4.

Have unders - NO OT PLEASE!!! Lol
