Point Spread: -3.00 | -106.00 San Diego State (Home)
Result: Loss
Pre-Christmas Bowl Game of the Year

Navy will travel 2299 miles to San Diego, while San Diego State is playing a home game. Yes of course I know San Diego is a huge hub for Navy, so crowd will not be as partisan as the distance traveled would indicate, but it is tough to beat a home game for the bowls.

Army-Navy is now the last regular season college football game played, and that puts both service academies behind when it comes to recruiting, hence Navy practicing with a skeleton coaching staff and limited availability with the players, who are in the midst of end-of-semester exams.Two position coaches for Navy been in charge of preparing a game-plan for San Diego State and disseminating it to the players, both in meetings and practice. That is difficult because normally each position coach would be available to conduct separate meeting and film sessions with their respective units.
