Army winds up another lost season but, as usual, the Cadets don't quit, losing two of its last three contests by just a field goal. The Black Knights also fought back from a 21-point first-half deficit against Tulane to tie the game. Army ranks ninth nationally with 253.3 rushing yards per contest and will play hard this game as it's their final home contest. Army is 5-2 UNDER the total when following a loss. They face a Rutgers team winding down a lost season too, on an 0-4 spread run, plus 2-10 ATS in November. The beat up Scarlet Knights have dropped four in a row by a combined 130 points, with three of the losses coming against ranked teams Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan. The Scarlet Knights garnered only 259 total yards last week, averaging 2.3 yards per carry and quarterback Chris Laviano threw two interceptions. Rutgers is 1-4 ATS against a team with a losing record. The Rutgers defense has enjoyed success playing against triple-option offenses, going 12-2 and holding opponents' rushing attacks under their season averages in 10 of the last 11 games. Rutgers is 15-7 UNDER the total after a defeat and 29-14 UNDER in non-conference games, and when these teams clash the UNDER is 5-1. Back Army and the UNDER.

Pro Picks
Rutgers at Army
Rutgers usually runs the football for Coach Greg Schiano, but this year's team features a great group of wide receivers in juniors Mark Harrison and Mohamed Sanu for new coordinator Frank Cignetti. The new pro-style attack better fits sophomore quarterback Chas Dodd (7 TDs, 3 INTs) and freshman QB Gary Nova (9 TDs, 7 INTs) to average 27.4 points and 236 yards passing. The defense is strong against the run and is allowing just 18.9 points per game – No. 17 in the nation. That strong run defense will come in handy against Army (3-6), tops in the nation in rushing. The problem for Army is a soft secondary and defense that has been ravaged by passing teams, giving up 49 points to Northern Illinois, 48 to Ball State, 35 to Miami of Ohio and 44 points to Vanderbilt - not exactly the top teams in the nation! This game is in Yankee Stadium and the Black Knights are 2-5 ATS in their last seven neutral-site games and are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 against the Big East. The Scarlet Knights are 7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings with Army and will roll with their air attack and tough run defense. Play Rutgers.
