OK, let's get right to it: the Army vs. Navy over/under.

College football games between service academies, especially Army vs. Navy, have a history of going under the closing total.

However, oddsmakers aren't just sitting on their hands, either.

An over/under of 28 is extremely low and appears to finally have accounted for this service academy trend.

Stuckey of the Action Network noted that 24 of the past 30 Army vs. Navy games have gone over 27.5 and three landed exactly on 27.

The betting market has taken note as well as 57% of tickets wagered on the total have come in on the under, much more balanced than we might expect considering the lack of points scored in these matchups in recent memory.

So how are the wiseguys approaching the Army vs. Navy over/under?

Are they following history once again? Or is now the time to buck the trends and play the over?

Army vs. Navy Over/Under Prediction

As mentioned above, 57% of bettors have come in on the under to this point.
