Army Black Knights vs Navy Midshipmen Prediction

The Navy Midshipmen will beat the Army Black Knights. The Army Black Knights will cover the spread, and the total will go over.

From a statistical perspective, Navy enters this matchup with a significant advantage in offensive production, averaging 30.5 points per game compared to Army’s 22.6. A key contributor to Navy’s success is their rushing attack, which averages 281.8 yards on 48.6 attempts per game. This ground game is complemented by a moderate passing game that garners 140.8 yards at an efficiency rate of 57.3%. They are likely to exploit Army’s defense, which has not shown the same level of efficiency in stopping the run.

Conversely, Army’s stats indicate a one-dimensional offense, with their passing game only accounting for 73 yards per game at a dismal completion rate of 49.7%. While they maintain a strong rushing attack at 254.6 yards on 59.2 attempts, they lack the offensive versatility to keep pace with Navy. The combination of Navy’s offensive prowess against Army’s defense should lead to a higher scoring game, pushing the total over the expected line. Consequently, I envision a victory for Navy, but with Army managing to keep the score close enough to cover the spread.
