Final. Saturday, September 5, 2026. Kicked off noon ET on CBS Sports Network.
Army opens at Michie Stadium against Bryant, and the Black Knights have a point to prove. They lost three of their last four season openers, including a 2025 stunner against FCS Tarleton State after leading 24 to 10 late in the third quarter. Bryant already has a game in the books, a 24 to 6 win over Stonehill in Week 0.

The Matchup
Army finished ninth nationally in rushing last season and closed with a 41 to 16 win over UConn in the Fenway Bowl, so the ground game is not the question. The question is whether the Black Knights play a full 60 minutes against an FCS opponent this time. Bryant held Stonehill to two field goals last week and has covered as an underdog more often than not, which makes 38 points a lot to lay. We like Army to win comfortably and the total to go over, but the Bulldogs to sneak inside the number.
Why This One Matters
Army starts American Conference play at South Florida next week, so a clean opener sets the tone for a league race the Black Knights won two seasons ago. For Bryant, a CAA program, this is the annual FBS payday and a measuring stick before conference play.
