Army vs Navy. One of the best traditions in college football. It is back with another edition on Saturday. While both teams are headed to a bowl game, the Commanders-in-Chief’s Trophy will be on the line this weekend. The 126th edition of the rivalry should be a great way to keep college football rolling.
Army vs Navy Prediction
While both teams have played well this season, Navy has played a lot better. The Midshipmen are looking to get to 10 wins for the second season in a row. Earlier in the year, the Navy was also a threat to reach the CFP as the Group of 5 representative. With Blake Horvath behind center, Navy should be able to outscore Army.
Navy 23- Army 20
