Before making any Army vs. Navy picks or college football predictions, you NEED to hear what football expert Emory Hunt has to say.

Hunt is the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, which has been supplying analysis of all levels of football since 2007, and a former running back for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. He knows the game from a player's perspective.

In addition, Hunt is 66-46 (+1551) over his last 112 college football picks, and more significant, he is 12-5 (+646) over his last 17 picks in Army games! Anyone who has followed him is way up.

Now, Hunt has analyzed Army vs. Navy from every angle and just locked in his picks and predictions.

Hunt knows that Army is having one of its best seasons ever, as its 11 wins are already tied for the most in program history, while this is the first year it has found itself in the CFP Rankings. The Black Knights lead all of college football in rushing yards per game (314.2) and rank second with 44 rushing scores. The Army defense is no slouch either, allowing just 15 points per game, which is the seventh-fewest in FBS. Additionally, Army is 5-2-1 ATS as a favorite, while Navy is only 2-2 ATS as an underdog.

The expert also has taken into account that Navy has dominated this series recently, going 16-6 over the last 22 meetings. Navy is 6-1 versus the spread in conference games this season, and it has a rest advantage, coming off a bye, while Army played last week. The Midshipmen also have an explosive offense as their nine plays of 60-plus yards are tied for the second most in FBS. Lastly, Navy is efficient where it matters the most as its 80% touchdown rate in the redzone is also second-best in the FBS.

Now, Hunt has locked in a confident against-the-spread pick for Navy vs. Army. We can tell you he's leaning Under on the total, but he knows a crucial X-factor makes one side of the spread a MUST-BACK. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what it is before locking in any picks of your own.
