Ready to soak up all the college football action on this fine Saturday, December 10th? Cool, grab your popcorn and beverage of choice, and position yourself on the couch for…a total of one FBS game.
That’s right, before the bowl games begin, before the College Football Playoff, and even hours before the Heisman Trophy winner is announced, the single FBS game on the slate is a duel between Army and Navy.
Please direct your eyeballs to the sportsbooks for those of you unsure of what to expect from this rivalry game. This matchup has the second-lowest over/under of ANY FBS game of the 2022-23 season.
The majority of bettors at BetMGM are putting money on under 32.5.
Army-Navy total 32.5.
Only Minnesota-Iowa 31.5 had a lower total this season.

Although both teams combine to average over 50.0 points per game on the season, recent Army-Navy matchups have netted some low point totals. In four of the last five meetings, the final score has fallen under today’s over/under of 32.5.
Further, the under is on quite the roll when it comes to this clash of football teams.
The UNDER is on a 16-0 run in the Army/Navy game.
If you started in 2006 with a $110 bet (to win $100) on the Army/Navy UNDER and rolled over your winnings each year for 16 years, you'd have…

But obviously, there are other bets to make. Not feeling confident in the totals? Perhaps betting on the sides is the way to go.

But where do you stand? Are you counting on recent history to repeat itself? Or will this Saturday’s matchup buck the trend?
