The Army Navy Game Betting

Army is -6.5 at home versus navy. The moneyline as of earlier today was -265.
This just seems like a gift from the gambling gods. Army is way way way WAY better than Navy this year. They should win by two touchdowns.
Unless, of course, somebody knows something that I don't. Does anyone know something about this game that I don't?

PRIDE... talent doesn't mean much... obviously schemes don't mean shite.
Navy has the better coach.
If the line gets to 7, take the points and run.

O/U has to right around 40. These are usually low scores.
Ha ha, just looked it up, it’s 41.

Navy hung around with Notre Dame, UCF and Tulane this season. They probably aren't the better team this season but it wouldn't surprise me if it's a one score game.

navy played a much harder schedule and is almost identical on paper. the triple option is familiar to both. im not so sure army is the better team by much if at all.

I'll agree that Navy had a more difficult schedule. Whether or not it was "much harder" is up for debate. A quick glance at a couple SOS rankings shows the discrepancy to be not significant. But it's the second part is what I wanna focus on as I do not believe it to be a statement soaked with veracity.
Navy is 3-9 with one of those wins being over Lehigh. Their best win and performance of the season was in week 2 against Memphis where they won 22-21.
Army is 9-2 with their only losses being road games against Duke and Oklahoma, the latter being a loss in overtime against a team that got into the CFP.
Moreover, they have common opponents.
Hawaii: Army won 28-21. Navy lost 59-41.
Air Force: Army won 17-14. Navy lost 35-7
By my unofficial count Army is +56 over Navy against common opponents.
Additionally, Army just has more impressive performances than Navy. Army beat the best team in the MAC 42-13. Buffalo almost certaily would have beaten Navy. Army also got a very nice overtime win over Hipster Miami with their backup QB. The next week the starter, Kelvin Hopkins, returned and they beat yet another top MAC team by a comfortable margin.
Fwiw, the computers like Army as well:
FPI: 69, 99
Sagarin: 53, 106
Teamrankings: 53, 94
S&P has them the closest of any I've seen: 83, 102

I actually like this aspect. When two teams do basically the exact same thing but one does it better, I find it tougher to make an argument for the inferior team. This is actually most true in tennis, but I think it's true in football to a certain extent as well.

Tulane isn't particularly good at football, though.
And methinks you have a somewhat loose definition of "hung around".

Navy had the lead in the final minutes so hung around counts here.

This is a tough one. Navy played the game at Hawaii at midnight Navy time.
Hawaii played the game at West Point 5 am Hawaii time.
This loss is exactly why teams that travel to Hawaii are allowed an additional home game.
Army is considerably better than Navy this year after watching them both all season, which it pains me to say, however it is Army-Navy. One side runs through Bancroft Hall squaring their corners yelling Go Navy, Sir or Beat Army, Sir (every day of the year). The other lives for whatever nonsense they chant: Army Rocket Cheer
Don't think it is easy money...
Go Navy! Beat Army!

It’s at 7 on 5dimes.
I found my old account with $50 still in it. Doubled it yesterday on the chiefs/raiders over. Just put it all on navy +7.

It would be +10.5 Navy if Navy didn't seem to always play up in this game and have Army's #.
Vegas is setting odds for the betting general public (25-40) which seemingly lived most of their adult life with Navy's 14-game winning streak from 2002 through 2014.

If y'all are so damn smart...then load up on The Woops.
Other than friendly wagers, typically for booze...I would never, ever bet money on this game.
Beat Army.

I prefer rivalry games.

It’s a rivalry game between two teams that run the triple option. No smart gambler touches games like this.
Posted on 12/4/18 at 12:42 am to MidnightVibe
I'm not saying it's a sure thing -- I mean, they call it gambling for a reason -- but I just like the number that I got. Way lower than I expected. I thought it would be 10 or 11.

Amazing analysis.

Unless you were a Navy fan from 2002-1014...then you'd be crazy not to bet.
Army stunk.
Navy was way ahead of the curve...playing way better than a Service Academy like Air Force in the 90's.
Army played like a service Academy.
Rivalry games are prime pickings. Line is low because of thoughts like yours...even though one team is so superior.
People could have made a lot of money on Navy in the 2000's the lines were bad and the games weren't close.
Military Academies, rivalry game...has so much emotion that the lines just are never accurate...Vegas just doesn't overcompensates for the underdog in this game - always.
Army's resume is 10X better than Navy's...and Army won the last two...but this is the first time Army has been favored over Navy since 2001.
There is so much Navy perception, nobody watches the service academies play a single down but for this game...and all people know is Navy has dominated.
That's precisely why the line is so low despite Army on paper being a 10.5 - 14.5 favorite.
