⚔️ Army Black Knights Breakdown

• Season: 6–5 SU | 5–6 ATS | 4–7 O/U
• Away ATS: 4–2
• Last 7 Games: 5–2 SU
• ATS vs Navy (since ’96): 11–10
• Chance of Cover: 61% (edge)

Army is doing what Army always does—shortening games, bleeding clock, and turning every drive into a 12-play thesis on discipline. They’ve covered 7 of the last 10 in this rivalry as a road team, and their L.O.A (Law of Average) flag is flashing YES here.

Underdogs + service academies + low total = sportsbook heartburn.

⚓ Navy Midshipmen Breakdown

• Season: 9–2 SU | 4–7 ATS | 8–3 O/U
• Home SU: 6–0
• Last 10 Games: 8–2 SU
• ATS as Home Favorite: shaky
• Chance of Cover: 48%

Navy deserves respect—they’re the better team on paper and more explosive offensively. But here’s the catch:
📉 They win games… they don’t always cover them.

As a home favorite, Navy has historically been more about salutes than spreads. Asking them to separate by a touchdown in this rivalry is like asking a drill sergeant for a hug.

🔢 Total (38.5) — The Real Battle

Let’s keep this simple:

• Army last 10 vs Navy O/U: 1–9 UNDER
• Situational totals scream UNDER
• December + Saturday + rivalry = clock abuse
• Both teams rank low in C.O.G.O (39%)

This total is low for a reason—and still might not be low enough.

⭐ Raymond Report Value Plays

Primary Value:
⭐ Army +6.5 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
The math, history, and market psychology all align. Ugly wins and “respectable losses” are Army’s specialty.

Secondary Lean:
⭐ UNDER 38.5 (⭐️⭐️⭐️)
If this game hits 40+, someone broke tradition.

Moneyline Sprinkle (Small):
Army +195 — Only for investors who like chaos with discipline.

🧠 Final Betting Take

Army–Navy is not about who’s better.
It’s about who makes fewer mistakes, who controls tempo, and who forces Vegas to sweat late.

The Raymond Report says:

• Navy wins
• Army covers
• The clock wins MVP

If you’re betting this game emotionally, good luck.
If you’re betting it professionally, this is a classic Army + points spot.
