00:0038 and a half is the total this week.

00:02Navy six and a half point favorites against Army.

00:04We know that this generally is an unpredictable game in terms of outcome, Bill,

00:08but we also know that there tends to not be a lot of scoring over the last 20 or 25 years.

00:13Do you have any lean on this one?

00:15Yeah, I would lean toward Navy here.

00:17I mean, Blake Horvath in last year's game, 204 rushing yards, 107 passing yards,

00:22four total touchdowns.

00:24They won big.

00:24A couple trends here to keep in mind.

00:26This is the fifth time since 2015 that at least one team has been ranked.

00:32You know, this is a little bit of a, I don't want to say a golden age of the rivalry.

00:36That was obviously in the 40s and 50s, but you're looking at this Navy team.

00:40I think they're three and then that ranked team is three and one straight up in those games.

00:44So that's one reason I like the midshipmen.

00:47One thing to keep in mind though, and why Army might be able to keep this game close

00:52is they do have a better turnover margin, a plus five turnover margin.

00:56You mentioned it.

00:57They're going to run at each other.

00:58These are two of the top five rushing offenses in the country, but I'm going to take Navy

01:03to cover, win by a touchdown.

01:05Gary Danielson, by the way, I talked to him this week.

01:08It's his 17th time covering this game, the most of any person, and it'll be the final time

01:13he covers the Army-Navy game.

01:14So Gary deserves some recognition for that.

01:18There's no question.
