Dominic Fazzini Saturday's winners 20 Dime -- Army (plus points vs. NAVY)

ARMY

The Midshipmen have won seven straight against their military academy rivals, and probably will win again today, but the Black Knights have some new ammunition for today's 110th meeting between the teams.

Freshman quarterback Trent Steelman is a real tough, talented kid and has started every game this season for Army. He is only the second plebe every to start at QB against Navy, and he leads the Black Knights with 690 yards and five touchdowns rushing this year. He also has completed 52.2 percent of his throws for 560 yards and three TDs with just one interception, but passing is not a big part of Army's offense.

Instead, the Black Knights run the same triple-option attack that the Midshipmen utilize, which should have both defenses quite familiar with what each offense is coming with today. And that should help keep the game close.

First-year Army coach Rich Ellerson has helped his team move within one win of a spot in the Eagle Bank Bowl, where they would face Temple. And while that's not exactly a BCS bowl, any bowl bid would be quite a big deal at West Point.

Ellerson has the Black Knights playing good ball, and he learned the triple option from former Navy coach Paul Johnson while the two were working at Hawaii, so Navy won't be doing anything offensively he hasn't coached his players to defend.

And while Army doesn't pass the ball much, when it does it has a big advantage -- literally -- in wide receiver Ali Villanueva. The senior stands 6-10 and was moved from left tackle, where he started 12 games last year for the Black Knights, to wideout before the season started. He leads the team with 29 catches for 460 yards (15.9-yard average) and five TDs.

Most of the ATS trends favor the Midshipmen, but they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a favorite. I think Army easily stays within two touchdowns today. Go with the Black Knights to cover the points.

10 Dime -- WICHITA STATE (minus points vs. Texas Christian)

WICHITA STATE

The Shockers are a far more physical team than the Horned Frogs are, especially at home, where they are 5-0 this season.

Seven-foot center Garrett Stutz is going to be a big obstacle for TCU to overcome if he can avoid foul trouble, and he helps lead a Wichita State defense that is allowing just 53.9 points per game.

The Shockers have played a relatively easy schedule so far in going 8-1, only playing three lined games, but they have won by an average of nearly 20 points per game. And they can get scoring from a variety of players, led by guard Toure' Murry, who is averaging 13.6 ppg.

Wichita State is 13-4 ATS in its last 17 nonconference games, 5-2 ATS in its last seven games overall and 4-1 ATS in its last five against Mountain West teams. The Horned Frogs are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games against a team with a winning record, 1-5 ATS in their last six nonconference games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Take the Shockers to win by at least a dozen points tonight.
