NAVY +7
The Midshipmen will have had 16 days between games. A well rested Navy squad, having two weeks to prepare for Notre Dame, as this is their best chance to end the 40 game losing streak.
Navy ranks sixth nationally in rushing offense averaging 267.4 yards per game on the ground. The Midshipmen also rank among the country's most efficient passing offenses (sixth, 165.70 rating). Quarterback Aaron Polanco ranks among the top 50 in total offense at 205.4 ypg. Another important stat is the discipline shown by Navy in being one of the least penalized teams in the country (6th).
You can break down the stats anyway you like for or against as both teams are pretty much even on paper. This is more of a gut play then anything for me, as seven points is too much for me to pass on what should be a close hard-fought battle.
