The last 10 games in the Army/Navy series have resulted in an average total of 46 ppg and only two of the meetings have seen a total over 57.5 points. The last 6 meetings in the series have seen the Under hit.

While Army has one of the worst defenses in the nation, and gives up 37 ppg, I expect them to step up their game for Navy. Also, the Under is 20-8 in the Black Knights last 28 home games. Navy has had just 3 games this season total over 50 points and the Under is 5-2 in the Midshipmens' last 7 road games and 11-3 in their last 14 games overall.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
When the Suns meet the Clippers in a Saturday afternoon fray in Los Angeles, Phoenix will take the court looking to shake a 5-game losing streak knowing they are 3-0 ATS this season in games against opponents off a pair of wins. In addition the Suns have defeated the Clippers straight up in 14 of the last 16 games in this series. With the paper Clips off a 22-point drubbing of Dallas and just 1-6 SUATS in games after meeting the Mavericks, we'll grab up the points in this overlay today. We recommend a 1-unit play on Phoenix.

Arizona is a young team but they've been obliterating most of their schedule as of late. Arizona (6-0) raced through the first five games of its schedule, scoring 85.2 points per game while winning by an average of 24.6. The Wildcats finished with 27 turnovers against Southern MIss, doubling their season average, but pulled out a 63-55 win behind their defense, which prevented Southern Miss from making any of its eight 3-point attempts while forcing 17 turnovers in the second half. Arizona is led by three terrific freshmen in Kaleb Tarczewski, a 7-foot center, 6-10 forward Grant Jerrett and 6-8 forward Brandon Ashley. Clemson is also young and at 5-2, they rely on their defense, allowing just 53.7ppg. But the team lost starting guard T.J. Sapp, who announced he will transfer. Arizona will take advantage of their guard situation with the depth and athleticism.

Pick: NevadaFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
We have to pick our spots with Nevada, but getting points tonight in Seattle looks to be one of those times when the Wolf Pack might be worth the risk. David Carter’s Nevada continues to be haunted by the ineligibility of touted juco frontliner Raphael Carter, who was being counted upon to provide necessary paint presence for a Wolf Pack squad still struggling to find consistency from its bigs. The same sort of things, however, could be said about Lorenzo Romar’s erratic U-Dub (1-3 vs. line last four), whose inconsistencies in the backcourt present a potentially troubling matchup vs. Nevada’s capable Gs Deonte Burton (19 ppg) & Malik Story (17 ppg). Not sure payback motive enough for the inconsistent Huskies to get over the pointspread hump vs. the Wolf Pack, which is faring better in underdog role than that of a favorite (in which it is 1-5 vs. line).

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Duke has played tougher teams and played better overall than Temple. This is a neutral court game. However Duke has won 19 of 20 times here at the IZOD Center. Temple is off a ice effort at Villanova last out as a road favorite. Temple has failed to cover 19 of the last 23 times when they lose vs an opponent that has revenge. The Owls have also failed to cover the last 3 times as a dog of more than 5 after games against Villanova. Duke has won 9 of 10 in this series with the lone loss last season at Temple. They should be super focused here for this one. Look for Duke to get the win and cover.

Utah was about as awful as it gets last season. The Utes are still substantially flawed, but the improvement is crystal clear. Big game for the Utes as they invade Provo for the rivalry duel with BYU, and I see the dogs keeping it close. Utah plus the points.

Army/ Navy Under 56: CMon when someone out there has a thread that states to bet the house on the Over you know I had to go the other way. LOL Just Kidding, but I do like the Under. Both teams are Running teams which will eat allot of clock. Both teams run the triple potion so they both know how to defend it and both teams have had extra prep time for this one as well. All of the above shows in the final scores of the last 6 years. Over that span the Under is 6-0 in the series, with no more than 48 points scored in any game, while the average points scored has been 38.5 ppg over the 6 games. Two teams that know each other well, with lots of clock moving plays should keep this one under 50 points again.

Navy -9

The Navy Midshipmen (7-4, 4-7 ATS) have dominated their annual rivalry with the Army Black Knights (2-9, 3-8 ATS) over the last decade, and the Midshipmen appear to be in position to make it 11 straight wins in the Army-Navy game on Saturday afternoon. Regardless of this result, Navy is locked into a date with Arizona State in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco on December 29th, while this is obviously the final game for the 2-9 Black Knights. You can catch the 113th edition of Army vs. Navy from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA at 3:00 ET.

Aside from bragging rights, Army does have something to play for here as the winner of this game will take home the Commander-In-Chief Trophy, as each of these teams beat Air Force this season making this game for all the marbles. Still, the Midshipmen appear to be the better team on both sides of the ball. On offense, Navy is ranked sixth in the country in rushing with 286.4 yards per game on the ground, but unlike Army, Navy is not totally inept throwing the ball occasionally. Quarterback Keenan Reynolds has eight touchdown passes and only one interception, with all eight touchdowns coming in a recent four-game stretch. He has completed 57.5 percent of his passes while averaging 9.4 yards per attempt. Make no mistake however, this is still a run-first offense averaging 5.3 yards per carry overall, led by Gee Gee Greene with 750 yards on an a whopping 7.2 yards per carry followed by Noah Copeland with 597 yards. Incidentally, the quarterback Reynolds is third on the team in rushing with 585 yards on 4.7 yards per carry.

Army leads the country in rushing with 369.8 yards per game, but unlike Navy, the Black Knights have a totally one-dimensional offense, as they rank dead last in the county on passing yards (68.1) and passing attempts (10.0) per game. They have a senior quarterback in Trent Steelman who leads the team in rushing with 1152 yards on 5.1 yards per carry, but he has completed a miserable 45.9 percent of his passes while passing for 619 yards with only one touchdown pass all season. Then there is the issue with the Army defense that ranks a disgusting 122nd in the country in rushing defense allowing 238.3 yards per game on a horrible 5.7 yards per carry. Comparatively, Navy is allowing 4.3 yards per rush, giving Navy a huge edge in a game between two option offenses. Granted, one of Army's two wins came against Air Force, which runs an identical offensive scheme as Navy does, but Navy has the best rushing defense among the three military academies.

Besides winning the last 10 head-to-head meetings straight up, Navy is 7-3 ATS in those games. Army is 8-20-1 ATS in its last 29 games vs. teams with winning records, as well as just 6-22 ATS in its last 28 games following a bye week.

I won with San Francisco on Tuesday as the Dons ran away from St. John's. That was more of a play against the Red Storm than it was on San Francisco simply based on the travel scenario for St. John's. Still, San Francisco is off to a solid 5-1 start on the season and after losing a ton of players from last season, questions remain. After dropping its opener at Stanford, the Dons have won five straight games, four of which came at home and the lone road win was at American University, a middle of the pack Patriot League team. The Dons take a big step up in class tonight as they head to Pacific. The tigers are 4-4 on the season but the schedule has been impressive to say the least. Two close losses against Fresno St. and Oral Roberts set the stage for big wins over Xavier and St. Mary's that took place in Anaheim before a loss against California and then a tough loss at Gonzaga as the Tigers fell behind early and could not catch up. They shot 46.9 percent from the floor but were outscored by 12 points at the free throw line which was a big difference. Pacific is coming off an overtime win against Nevada last time out and when it is all said and done, the Tigers have played the 15th toughest schedule in the country. They are deep and very balanced and in three home games, they are shooting 50.5 percent from the floor including 50 percent from long range. Play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 45 and 47.5 percent going up against teams allowing between 42.5 and 45 percent shooting, after four straight games making 47 percent or more of their shots. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1997.

Michigan gets our call here early as the #3 Ranked Michigan Wolves who punch in @ 8-0 and they are humming!!! #'s are off the chart here for the BIG TEN Wolves as the SEC Razorbacks are 16-41 ATS in their last 57 road games vs. a team with a winning home record & these Razorbacks are 16-42 ATS in their last 58 road games. Huge capped edges in Rebounding and D will put the Wolves on the Ats winning side and the Over is a play here also.... The John Beilein lead Wolves have got the Winning Mojo as they are hitting on all cylinders.

Not a lot of people are giving the Black Nights much of a chance here but we couldn’t disagree more. The Midshipmen did finish with a much better 7-4 record than Army’s 2-9 record but that’s misleading. Had Navy played the same schedule as Army, the Midshipmen’s record would look a lot different. Navy played four good teams this season and lost to them all. They beat every team well under .500 on its schedule and it’s not like they were blowing them away. These two played one common opponent in Air Force and Navy beat them in OT while the Black nights whacked them by 20.

When looking at Army’s schedule, we see an extremely tough slate that included games against the MAC’s best teams, #15 Northern Illinois, Kent State and Ball State. The Black Knights lost to Northern Illinois by a single point while competing in the other two games as well. Army ranked #1 in the nation in rushing with 368 per game and while this is a one-dimensional Knights attack, Navy’s offense isn’t much different in that they run the ball far more often too. You have to look beyond the W/L records in college sports. In this case, it applies as Army’s schedule has prepped them well for a chance to defeat this rival on the square.
