Our Army Black Knights (28-12), riding a 6-game winning streak, head to Annapolis this weekend to close out Patriot League play against Navy. Army stands just 1/2 game back from Bucknell in the standings, so home field advantage is at stake along with annual bragging rights this weekend.
Army currently checks in at #143 nationally in today's Iterative Strength Ratings (courtesy of www.boydsworld.com), a full 108 spots ahead of Navy at #251. With respective ISRs of 101.5 and 88.4, data suggests that Army has a 77.6% chance of winning each game played. That's close enough to 75% for me, so my prediction is that Army takes 3 of 4 and sings second come Sunday afternoon.
Give 'em Hell Boys!
