Army v. Navy December 13

[bpoulter]

Army (4-7) +15 v. Navy (6-5).

Rivalry games rarely result in blowouts. Army +15. Thoughts?

Here's the last 12 years final tallies on this game:

2002 Navy 58?12 Giants Stadium East Rutherford, NJ Army 49-47-7
2003 Navy 34?6 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Army 49-48-7
2004 Navy 42?13 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Tied 49-49-7
2005 Navy 42?23 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 50-49-7
2006 Navy 26?14 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 51-49-7
2007 Navy 38?3 M&T Bank Stadium Baltimore, MD Navy 52-49-7
2008 Navy 34?0 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 53-49-7
2009 Navy 17?3 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 54-49-7
2010 Navy 31?17 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 55-49-7
2011 Navy 27?21 FedEx Field Landover, MD Navy 56-49-7
2012 Navy 17?13 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 57-49-7
2013 Navy 34?7 Lincoln Financial Field Philadelphia, PA Navy 58-49-7


These games certainly can be a blowout, and given the nature of the rivalry and style of offenses they run, they can turn into a runaway before you realize it and without trying too hard.
Lots of breakout TD runs from 40+ yards out when both sides run the option offense. And if there is a weak point in the defense, it is going to get exposed again and again and again.

There's a lot of hype on the Navy side of the ball here to run 13 straight wins this year, and from what I've seen and heard it looks as if the Army side has already resigned itself to losing this game.
Although the overall records are the same, it's two programs at very different levels.

At Navy -10 or -11 I am all over this game. At Navy -15, I hesitate and can't convince myself that it's that strong of a play though.
