Navy betting news and analysis
Navy (8-3 SU, 7-4 ATS) won its first six games before getting blown out by Notre Dame.
Horvath, who injured his thumb in the game before that against Charlotte, then suffered back spasms in Navy's penultimate game against Tulane. He was sidelined for the season finale against East Carolina.
Horvath, who is expected to return against Army, leads Navy is rushing yards (895) and rushing TDs (13). He's also thrown for 1,000+ yards and seven TDs. Fullback Alex Tecza checks in with nine total TDs.
The Midshipmen are explosive under Horvath. Navy scored 50+ points in wins over Memphis and Charlotte due in part to their dynamic rushing attack. Horvath is one of eight Midshipmen to score on the ground this season.
Navy's hybrid triple option offense also creates opportunities for Horvath to execute play-action passes. RB Eli Heidenreich leads the Midshipmen with five receiving TDs.
Navy averages 32.3 points per game and allows 23.2 ppg.
Army betting news and analysis
The Black Knights (Army 11-1 SU, 8-3-1 ATS) also got drilled by Notre Dame 49-14 in their only loss this season. Army can secure the first 12-win season in school history by beating Navy on Saturday.
Army is coming off a 35-14 win over Tulane in the AAC Championship Game. It entered that game as a five-point underdog at home. QB Bryson Daily and RB Kanye Udoh combined for 284 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
Daily and Udoh helped Army become the No. 1 ranked rushing offense in the nation (314.4 yards per game) this season.
- Daily (264 carries, 1,480 yards, and 29 rushing TDs*
- Udoh (165 carries, 1,064 yards, and 10 rushing TDs)
*Tied with Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty for most in the country
Army averages 32.1 points per game, but its defense might prove to be the difference in this game. The Black Knights rank No. 7 in rushing yards allowed per game at 97.8. Army is also tied for sixth nationally in scoring defense, allowing only 15.7 points per game.

Navy vs. Army prediction: Black Knights win and cover in higher-scoring game
With the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy on the line, we're backing Army to win and cover ATS in a game that goes OVER the total. Both offenses are explosive and capable of producing chunk plays. Army's 20-17 win in OT in 2022 broke a 16-year UNDER streak for this rivalry. Last year's game, a 17-11 win for the Black Knights, pushed against a total of 28.
Army's defense will be the difference, as the Black Knights get that elusive 12th win for the first time ever.
Picks: Army -6.5 or better, OVER 38.5 or better
