Reno Gold's pick : Just because I'm a Navy man has nothing to do with my pick, however – I'm all over Navy in this one. In recent years this game is what I call a -mortgage your home – game. In other words, Navy is going to send you to the bank smiling. I expect a 10-point or better win for the Midshipmen today.
