Uh.... Maybe the first game Army was -17. Now it's 10 because of that game. Rematch is always a b****

The spread was Army -17.5 and they LOST outright to North Texas 18-35

Now this game the spread is Army -11....

Poster is curious if there was an injury or what happened in that first game that they got blown out, especially at HOME and this time the game is being played in Dallas so its basically a road game. I am also curious if anyone has insight

Army had 7 turnovers on that game. You can't expect that again
otjereise Army outplayed them. More yardage, more first downs and a big advantage I. Time of possesion

Army has improved greatly while UNT has regressed. That being said I'm still on UNT +350

7 turnovers in that first game. You can't expect that in the rematch, and UNT has an abyssmal run def.

NTX-QB-Alec Morris-Probable | NTX-QB-Mason Fine-Probable |

Who starts? Are either of these guys any good? Did they miss games leading up to this?

If army cleans up the turnovers and the will they should easily cover 11 imo. The mean green is not so mean army might not have to throw at all this go around.

but 3 of the turnovers were in the 4th Q, when the game was already over. So NT out played Army the whole game and they caused Army to turn the ball over earlier too.
yes, there is the revenge factor here and Army is playing better, but Army just beat Navy and that was their superbowl, so is this a win and not cover game??

This.

Army just beat Navy for the first time in 15 years. I know the Service Academies are disciplined and bring it every game, but they are human and winning that game........has to be some sort of let down.
