Tuesday's 4.4* NCAAF POD Guaranteed - San Diego State vs. Na

[Pick Bot]

San Diego State -2.5 4.4* POD
Both of these teams really had a down year compared to their standards. Navy is used to winning the Commander Chief's trophy and San Diego State is used to being in contention in their conference, but both will get to a bowl game again. For Navy I just feel like they have too much to over come. San Diego State is playing a home game here in their own field and Navy is 2-5 in their last 7 bowl games. San Diego State will have 14 extra days to prepare for the triple option and it should not be much trouble for them.

Both teams need to run to win and that's what they hang their hat on, but Navy has issues stopping the run while San Diego State has been more consistent in that area. The Aztecs head coach Rocky Long is no stranger to preparing for a triple option attack. He faces Air Force every year and due to where they are located would face Army each year. They have won their last 8 games vs. Army/Navy/Air Force dating back to the 2010 season with margin of victories around 14.6 points on average. This is just too much in a short period of time for Navy to come off the high of beating Navy go all the way to the other side of the country and beat a team playing at home that has extra preparation and is used to preparing for your offense.
