Line: Navy -14, opened at Navy -13.
It will be a good test to see how both new QBs are settling into their roles. Tulane's front seven must get into the backfield in order for them to win the game. They almost pulled it off last year - but Tulane's offense went missing when they needed it most.
Navy's offense seems to have picked up where they left off - although FAU looked like a disorganized pack of transfers that were not on the same page.
In a way, neither win really told the whole story about both teams. This is a reality check game.
I think 14 is way too many points. Navy 27, Tulane 20. It looks like another close call.
Just for the Win, I wouldn't bet against the Middies in their own house. But If we lose by 14 pts. then we've played a very bad game.

Well, Operation 6-6 is in full effect.
The "easiest" path to six wins reads:
Grambling
Army
FIU
ECU
Cincy
SMU
Stealing the Navy game opens things up, especially since a few teams we play seem to be there for the taking.

Agree that it is hard to judge either team based on week one. Grambling is Grambling, and FAU was the gang that couldn't shoot straight for most of Friday - it was like a bunch of guys just showed up in camp the last couple weeks of summer.
I like Navy to win, but I don't like giving fourteen.
It is likely that there will be limited number of possessions for both teams. Even if you're efficient and get a couple stops, hard to separate.
38-28 Navy?
Navy O looked good to me Friday. Fumbled snap and dumb pick don't happen and it would have looked a lot better but those are the miscues that will get worked out between game 1 and game 2.
Tulane defended Navy well the last two years. But let's nip in the bud one myth: that isn't because they practice against Fritz's offense, that was Smart and Marley and Smart's partner on the line in '15. They're all gone now. Avy offense gets theirs, with yards and points well better than last two years vs Tulane.
I'm really happy with the D in week one. Fritz's offense may be getting better but again, I'm confident AND Fritz's offense doesn't create the same problems for us that several other AAC offenses do.
Looking forward to my view from Section 2. Anyone coming I'm willing to try to link up for some tailgating.

I'm Section 1. Kinda close to the 15 yard line (*I think*).
Tulane's D-line has 3 seniors and a RS junior. Smart is gone, but a lot of pieces have returned. They defended Grambling better than they did Southern (who is worse than Grambling). We lack the disruptive NT, but the rest of the line is actually a little better.
I'm not sure how that adds up vs. Navy, though. The best way for Tulane to win is to put up some points early and put Navy under some game pressure. I don't think this game "grinds" like the last one.

What seat number in section 1? Unless that seat number is low, you're end zone vs 15. Don't get me wrong, no bad seats at NMCMS, but expectation management...DM for tailgate or section 1-2 linkup.

...so it may be closer to the 5 yard line, which means half the game will be fun to watch :D
It's chill though, I didn't really pay serious money for these seats so I have nothing to complain about.
I would still rather see this than Eagles at Redskins.
23 hours until kickoff.
It's the only AAC game this week. Outside of slh and myself, is anyone else going to be there? I will share a few game shots if you all want.

Game shots are always good. But be sure to throw in the misleading "there's no one here" attendance pics. lol
The line is sinking, it's now down to Tulane +11. This is making me nervous.

Why would that make you nervous? I think you read too much into these lines man. And I say that as someone who likes to play a lot of CFB lines.
Since most of the public bets are on Navy, this is reverse line movement -- it just means that some very big money bets have come in on Tulane, and there may be a sharps vs public split on this game.
If you're a Tulane fan this is a good thing. But it's really irrelevant to who wins the game outright. Btw, it will likely move down a little further as other betters notice the steam move to Tulane and the reverse line move to Tulane.

These are my favorite... visiting fans walk into the game 40 minutes early because they aren't that into the tailgating scene on campus, take pic of stadium and say "where are all the fans?!?"
Now in Tulane's case we actually don't have that many period. But this happens at every school. I may start a twitter parody account just to capture all these pictures/moments.

I've seen Tulane dump some games like this. Like 30 point losses out of nowhere...
Mind you, the President, AD, and Coach are all different now - so the past is sort of forgotten as we build some kind of new future.
Navy is gonna eat Tulane's lunch. By at least 20.
Tulane has come to play today.
