At 3:00 p.m. eastern today CBS will televise the 119th iteration of the Army/Navy game (or, as it was known in my house growing up, the Navy/Army game).
Navy (3-9) holds a 60-51-7 series lead, owing largely to the fourteen game winning streak run up by the Midshipmen between 2002 and 2015. The Black Knights of the Hudson (9-2) however are winners of the last two meetings. Six of the last seven matchups have been decided by a touchdown or less.
Army is the favorite behind a solid option offense that’s averaging 7.48 plays per possession, over a play per possession better than the next closest team.
