Pick of the Week: No. 15

With just one regular season game remaining and since I am two games over .500 why not pick the Army-Navy game. However, stay tuned for the 'Eye's bowl predictions. They are always a touch snarky and he'll provide you some factoids that don't mean a thing.

Navy (-14.0) over Army
This game should be closer than it has been in recent years, including last year's 34-0 domination by the Midshipmen. Navy is riding a seven-game winning streak in which it has outscored Army 232-71. So a 14-point spread seems to be a pretty good bet. The Black Knights have made big strides in their first season under Rich Ellerson. Army is averaging 212.1 rushing yards per game and freshman QB Trent Steelman has played well. But Navy QB Ricky Dobbs has more experience, not to mention he's rushed for 23 TDs this season.
Pick: Navy 32, Army 17

Last Week: 3-2
Season Record: 36-34
