00:02 - All right, so look, I know that this is one

00:06 of the lowest totals we've ever seen

00:07 in the Army-Navy game, it's 28 and a half.

00:10 I'm not gonna be the one to demean this game

00:13 because I know how much this means to the kids

00:16 and the coaches and the country and the academies.

00:19 And no matter what, Bill, I feel like,

00:22 at least from what I've watched,

00:24 maybe in the history of watching this,

00:25 the last 20 years, usually like,

00:28 I mean like 18 out of 20 times,

00:30 the game's right down to the last possession.

00:32 And that's what this line indicates here.

00:34 Army has actually been better than Navy.

00:36 I know they were last year too, a rare feat though.

00:39 Two and a half point favorites, total of 28 and a half.

00:42 And I guess in watching the game,

00:44 you don't get caught up in the triple option

00:46 or the wishbone, whatever they're running there these days.

00:49 You just hope that it comes down

00:50 to like five minutes left in the game.

00:51 One team has the ball on their 30 yard line

00:54 and can they run it all the way down to the end

00:57 and win the game?

00:57 What do you think ends up winning this one?

01:00 - Well, Army's won the last four of the last six

01:03 and, or five of the last six.

01:04 And four of those games have been decided by one score.

01:08 So with this, you just said it.

01:10 I mean, that under looks pretty good.

01:11 It feels like a 17, 10, 17, 14 type game

01:15 where both teams who both rushed

01:17 for more than 200 yards per game get after it.

01:20 I've always loved the emotion of this game.

01:23 I always love watching it with my son

01:26 because the kids play so hard.

01:28 They play so hard in this game

01:30 because of what it means to them.

01:31 I do think Army wins a close game.

01:33 I sat with a Navy veteran all through football season.

01:36 His grandson was on my son's football team.

01:39 So he'll be disappointed in me picking Army

01:41 but I think the Black Knights get the win.

01:44 (upbeat music)
