Both teams are coming off high-scoring wins in their opening games of the season, and were both electric offensively, scoring 104 points combined. I like Navy to win, but the spread is too big, so I will focus on the total. Both teams were lights out offensively, and UAB also allowed 42 points defensively. Last season they both combined for 59 points in their only meeting, and I like this game to be also a high-scoring one. Take the over 59.5 points in this one.
