(NCAAF) Army vs. Navy,
Total: 56.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between Army and Navy.

To say this is a "revenge" game for the Army Black Knights would be a bit of an understatement I think as they come into the 2014/15 version of this contest having lost 12-straight in the series. This is the 124th game between the two and is played at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Midshipmen have won by an average of 22.3 points during the streak, including last year's 34-7 destruction. Navy has clearly been the "better" team for the better part of a decade, but what may come as a surprise is that the last eight in the series have fallen BELOW the posted number. Suffice it to say, I think that long-standing trend gets "bucked" today and believe the conditions are finally right for a higher-scoring shootout. This is a warm up game of sorts for Navy as it looks to work out any kinks before its Poinsettia Bowl matchup vs. SDSU on December 23rd. The Midshipmen have for the most part destroyed their opponents with the nation's No. 2 rusing attack, averaging a whopping 357.8 per game; junior QB Keenan Reynolds leads the team in rushing and passing, totaling 1,831 yards and 25 TD's from scrimmage. Reynolds has been extremely effecient this year, he's only thrown three INT's and his solid overall management almost resulted in a major upset over then No. 10 Norte Dame last month. Not to be outdone this year though, the Black Knights also possess a powerful run game which is ranked No. 6 in the country, led by RB Larry Dixon and QB Angel Santiago; note that the two have combined for 1,805 rushing yards and 19 TD's. Army also comes in with some momentum here as it's won two of its last three games with Dixon posting 158 yards and three TDs and Santiago leading five consecutive scoring drives in last week's 42-31 win over Fordham. And note, Dixon rushed for 110 or more yards in four games this year and the Black Knights are 3-1 when he does so. Note that Army has seen the total sail above the posted number in four of six this year when playing the role of underdog, while Navy has seen it eclipse the number in all three games that it's played this season with two weeks of rest. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the sharp move in this one.
