00:00The first matchup for the commander-in-chief's trophy, unbeaten Navy, 4-0 for the first

00:10time since 2017, a 9.5 point favorite against the Falcons of Air Force.

00:16We've been walking around the studio, Joe, a lot of people on Navy today.

00:20What say you?

00:21I feel like everybody in America is on Navy today, and rightfully so, right?

00:25The hop play last week was UAB plus the 3.5.

00:28How did that work?

00:29Smash!

00:30Smash!

00:31Smash!

00:32Right now, everybody that bet at UAB last week is on Navy this week.

00:36I'll just say this.

00:37In terms of these rivalry type of games, we saw the situation play out with Air Force

00:41last year.

00:428-0, they laid 13.5 to Army, they lost the ball game outright, and lost four straight

00:47to end their season and knocked them out of the Mountain West contention.

00:50I'm not saying Air Force has to win, but to catch now 10.5 in regards to a rivalry

00:56game, I know the body of work is not the same in regards to recent years, but they could

01:00still grind it out, they forced turnovers.

01:03Again, Navy's good, this isn't Georgia or Alabama that they're playing.

01:07Give me the 10.5, Air Force wouldn't strike me if they struck the upset.

01:13What side do you like in this game?

01:14Oh, I don't like either side in this game.

01:16I actually think we might see some points, but I don't know if in my heart of hearts

01:19I can view a reverse on the trend.

01:2136.5 double-digit spread since 2003, last 20-plus years in college football, in service

01:27academy games, 64 of them, 51 to the under, so I don't know if I can get the over despite

01:32the fact that Navy is one of six FBS teams over in all four games this year, Kev, by

01:38an average margin of three touchdowns per game, the highest in the country.

01:43Yeah, I gotta tell you, if you would have been on the over, that would have been the

01:46biggest upset of the entire day.

01:48Is he on the under?

01:49He's not on the side.

01:50I know.

01:51At least he's trying to yank things out of you.

01:52You want me to bet Navy just to make you feel better?

01:54Yes.

01:55No, no.

01:56I'll answer that for him.

01:57He would do anything if you could please bet Navy for him.

01:59Listen, he'll buy you lunch, I promise.

02:02If you could just bet Navy, that'd be great.
