The Army-Navy Game is one of the great traditions of the season, and today, we are making our Army vs. Navy picks and predictions and trying to beat the Army-Navy Game odds here at Cappers Info.

Army-Navy Game Picks: Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen
Date: Saturday, December 8th, 3:00 ET
Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
Army-Navy Game Betting Odds: Navy -7
Army vs. Navy Live TV Coverage: CBS

The Army-Navy Game is always a fantastic clash, and the team that figures out how to stop the run better than the other almost always is going to take the spoils in this battle of two triple option clubs. The battle of these two quarterbacks is quite interesting to say the least. QB Keenan Reynolds has the best arm that a quarterback in this game has had in quite some time, as he has thrown for 754 yards and eight TDs against just one pick in limited action as a full-time starter. QB Trent Steelman isn’t the most talented man in the world, but he has been a four-year starter for the Cadets, and he has rushed for over 1,100 yards and now has the most touchdowns in the history of Army football (44).

Defense in this one is going to be interesting as well. The Midshipmen have been all over the place. One week, they come out and shut down the Texas State Bobcats. Another week, they allow 41 to the Troy Trojans. Army has been consistently bad defensively, allowing over 220 rushing yards per game, and this is the difference between a team that is going to a bowl game (Navy) and one that isn’t (Army). Though the Temple Owls don’t run a triple option offense, they do run the ball and run it a ton. In the most recent game for the Black Knights, they allowed over 500 rushing yards to the Owls, including giving up seven touchdowns to RB Montel Harris.

In the end, the Black Knights have been getting closer and closer to beating Navy, but in the end, they have lost 10 in a row. As much as we would love to see that change just to see the Cadets get their hands on the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, it isn’t going to happen. The Middies just have the significantly better defense, and they’re going to get the job done by just a bit more than the Army vs. Navy point spread allows for.

I’ve been studying the ‘total’ for the Army-Navy Game odds for quite some time, and I’m ready to make my Army-Navy Game picks for the clash between the Navy Midshipmen and the Army Black Knights. The Army vs. Navy kickoff is set for 3:00 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field, and I’m going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

2012 Army-Navy Game
Army Black Knights (2-9, 3-8 ATS) +7
Navy Midshipmen (7-4, 4-7 ATS) -7
Over/Under 55.5

The Black Knights and Midshipmen have combined for 48 points or fewer in six straight games between them, but I really think that this is the year that the triple option really gets going for both of these sides to the point that there are enough points that hit the board to finally push this one past the number.

This really is more a bet about Army than anything else. The Cadets allowed 63 points the last time that we saw them against the Temple Owls, and RB Montel Harris rumbled for seven touchdowns against them. They allowed at least 21 points in every single game this year, and they allowed at least 30 in eight of their 11 games. On top of that, QB Trent Steelman has a heck of a lot of experience in these games, and he has run the triple offense as much as anyone else has in the history of college football with four full years of games under his belt. He has 44 rushing TDs to his name in his career, an Army record, and he is sure to add to that on Saturday.

Navy has the better defense of these two, but it also has an offense that at least has a level of explosiveness to it. Yes, Steelman and RB Raymond Maples are both 1,000-yard rushers for the Black Knights, and the Middies don’t have anyone on the team that has more than the 750 rushing yards of RB Gee Gee Greene. However, QB Keenan Reynolds has thrown for eight TDs and just one pick, and he has three games this year with triple digits worth of passing yards. Three backs, including Reynolds, have at least 585 yards on the ground, and four others have at least 150 yards. In the end, the Midshipmen will get into the 30s, and Steelman and the Black Knights should be able to keep up in a game that should end up ultimately exceeding the ‘total’ by a relatively comfortable margin.
