College Football Betting Odds - Army Black Knights vs Navy Midshipmen

Army and Navy get the college football betting spotlight on Saturday at 2:30pm EST as they meet for the 110th time in game that can be seen on CBS. There is always a lot of emotion when these two teams get together and this year has some added spice as Army can get into a bowl game with a win. If the Black Knights can find a way to upset Navy they would get to play in the EagleBank Bowl against Temple. If they lose, that bid goes to UCLA. Navy is a 14-point favorite in college football odds with a total of 41.5 at online sportsbooks. While Army does have some extra incentive, Navy has more talent.

Navy is 8-4 on the college football betting season and headed to the Texas Bowl to face Missouri. Navy has won the last six Commander-In-Chief's Trophies and they hold the 53-49-7 advantage in the all-time series against Army including seven straight wins. Last year Navy won 34-0. Army runs the ball for 221.1 yards per game, led by freshman QB Trent Steelman. Army doesn’t have much of a passing threat which is too bad since that is the area where Navy is weakest. Army may have to find a way to get Ali Villanueva involved in the offense. He leads the team in receiving yards with 460. Army has a solid defense that is allowing just 22.4 points per game but they are not that good against the run and that is a huge problem looking at the college football betting odds when playing against Navy.

Army is also without their best defender, linebacker Stephen Anderson, who has a torn ACL. Navy is third in the country in rushing at 279.7 yards per game. Quarterback Ricky Dobbs has 924 yards and 23 TDs this season. Navy’s defense is allowing 21.3 points per game this season. The Black Knights are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
