There is nothing like the pomp and circumstance of America’s Game, and with the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy on the line, this Saturday will be no different.
The Navy Midshipmen will look to retain the trophy with a win over the rival Army Black Knights, and my Army vs. Navy same-game parlay predictions are betting on a big performance from Blake Horvath to lead the way for Navy. Not to mention the greatest trend in sports betting.

Our best Army vs Navy SGP for Week 16
Unders are a remarkable 46-12-1 in meetings between Service Academies dating back to 2005 (as far back as Covers’ data goes). That’s a cash rate of nearly 80%, a number basically unheard of in sports betting.
But the trend became so prevalent and overbet that nearly all the value had been sucked out of it, to the point where this Army-Navy game had a closing total of just 28 two seasons ago, causing a few more Overs to hit.
However, the numbers have bounced back, thanks in large part to the combination of Navy Midshipmen OC Drew Cronin’s variation of the Wing-T offense and having star QB Blake Horvath to run it. Horvath led Navy to a 9-2 record this season and ranked seventh in the country in offensive success rate.
Meanwhile, the Army Black Knights will be bowling with a 6-5 record. However, the Black Knights rank 92nd in success rate on rushes.
If the Midshipmen can limit the explosive plays for Black Knights, it will be hard for the Army to consistently score in this one. The Midshipmen will control the game and bring back the Service Academy Unders in the process. Grab the Under while it’s still above the key number of 38.
Navy won last year’s matchup 31-13 on the back of Horvath’s impressive day. The Midshipmen QB rushed the ball 25 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns while throwing for another 107 and two scores through the air.
You can expect another big game from Horvath in what will be his final game in this rivalry. So, I’m taking Navy to cover the 6.5 points with Horvath scoring multiple touchdowns in this SGP for America’s Game.
