Navy vs FAU Prediction
Navy is just 2-4 ATS on the season as a double-digit favorite, but this is a bad matchup for Florida Atlantic, which includes back-to-back road games. Navy is the best rushing offense by a country mile, and FAU has a run defense that’s 111th in the country. FAU also can’t run the ball offensively. Navy should have a field day offensively in this spot, similar to what USF did last week. FAU is 0-3 ATS as a double-digit underdog this season, losing those games by an average of 32 points. This should be a comfortable win for Navy as it remains undefeated on the season.
