Going out of town for New Years for a couple of days so posting now but will wait to play as I see the line going up to 14 possibly.
Navy +13 -110, 4 units
While the Raiders should score on their offensive possessions, I don't think their defense will be able to get off the field when Navy has the ball. Tech is giving up 4.7 ypr and 189 rush ypg. Against bowl teams they have given up 235, 217, 169, 352, 470, 207, and 112 yards rushing. Navy will run the ball every down and almost always runs it on 4th and 1 or 2. I can't see Tech stopping Navy's offense on 4 downs unless Navy gets called for some penalties, which they have been very good about committing 6 or less in all but 1 game this season. I think Navy can put together a few 6 and 7 minute drives to shorten this game and keep the Raiders' offense off the field. Tackling is the most difficult thing for most teams coming off a long layoff so Tech may have difficulty wrapping up Navy's runners. Symons has thrown some INTs this season with 21 on the season and if Tech turns the ball over at all I think it will become real difficult to cover a 2 TD spread. Think this game may be closer than people think so taking the points.
