Navy vs. Army Prediction and Pick
Both teams are going to know what's coming as they each run the same triple option offense, but the difference comes on the defensive side of the ball, where Navy bolsters a top 10 defense in terms of EPA/Rush, while Army is bottom 15 nationally.
The Midshipmen are the far less efficient offense, outside the top 100 in success rate while Army checks in 29th. However, with such familiarity between the two teams, I'm going to trust a strong defense over a strong offense to create favorable matchups.
With a comically low total of 33, scoring chances will be few and far between, so I'll side with Navy and the better defense to get the job done in this rivalry game.
