The set-up: Navy dominated this match-up for over a decade, but the Army Golden Knights come into this year's match-up having won two straight. Army is 9-2 in 2018 and enters on top form, having won seven straight. Navy is just 3-9 and it's gone only 1-8 in its last nine overall. The Midshipmen live for this game though and I'm expecting the underdog to push the pace from start to finish. This is the first time since 2002 that Navy will finish with a losing record, so it'll have one last shot at redemption here as it looks to play spoiler on Army's great overall campaign to this point. With both teams pushing the pace, from a situational stand point, there's no doubt this one sets up as a higher-scoring shootout.

The pick: Note as well though that Navy has seen the total go "over" the number in three of its last four as a neutral field underdog, while Army has seen the total go "over" in 14 of its last 20 as a favorite. Play the "over."
