00:02 - All right, so look, I know that this is one
00:06 of the lowest totals we've ever seen
00:07 in the Army-Navy game, it's 28 and a half.
00:10 I'm not gonna be the one to demean this game
00:13 because I know how much this means to the kids
00:16 and the coaches and the country and the academies.
00:19 And no matter what, Bill, I feel like,
00:22 at least from what I've watched,
00:24 maybe in the history of watching this,
00:25 the last 20 years, usually like,
00:28 I mean like 18 out of 20 times,
00:30 the game's right down to the last possession.
00:32 And that's what this line indicates here.
00:34 Army has actually been better than Navy.
00:36 I know they were last year too, a rare feat though.
00:39 Two and a half point favorites, total of 28 and a half.
00:42 And I guess in watching the game,
00:44 you don't get caught up in the triple option
00:46 or the wishbone, whatever they're running there these days.
00:49 You just hope that it comes down
00:50 to like five minutes left in the game.
00:51 One team has the ball on their 30 yard line
00:54 and can they run it all the way down to the end
00:57 and win the game?
00:57 What do you think ends up winning this one?
01:00 - Well, Army's won the last four of the last six
01:03 and, or five of the last six.
01:04 And four of those games have been decided by one score.
01:08 So with this, you just said it.
01:10 I mean, that under looks pretty good.
01:11 It feels like a 17, 10, 17, 14 type game
01:15 where both teams who both rushed
01:17 for more than 200 yards per game get after it.
01:20 I've always loved the emotion of this game.
01:23 I always love watching it with my son
01:26 because the kids play so hard.
01:28 They play so hard in this game
01:30 because of what it means to them.
01:31 I do think Army wins a close game.
01:33 I sat with a Navy veteran all through football season.
01:36 His grandson was on my son's football team.
01:39 So he'll be disappointed in me picking Army
01:41 but I think the Black Knights get the win.
