The Marist Red Foxes are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they get a rare home game here. However, the Navy Midshipmen are comfortably the more battle tested team, and they’re proven with their season opening win over Virginia. Navy is the much better defensive team here and should be able to control the pace. I’ll lay the small chalk with the road team.
