Navy Midshipmen vs Yale Bulldogs Point Spread Picks

This is the season-opener for Yale, which is the Ivy League favorite this year after back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. The Bulldogs return three starters who combined for 31.7 points per game in Nick Townsend, Casey Simmons, and Samson Aletan. They also recruited Courtney Wallace Jr., who averaged a triple-double his senior year in high school. Navy comes off a 76-55 win over Presbyterian with Aidan Kehoe scoring a team-leading 19 points. The Midshipmen were helped by the Blue Hose's inept 3-point shooting as they hit just three of 21 from long distance. Yale is a much better shooting team than that performance, and the Bulldogs have gone OVER 13 of their past 18 road games. Navy went OVER seven of its last eight Friday games in 2024-25, and the Midshipmen are 7-3 OVER their past 10 home contests. Take Yale on the moneyline and the OVER.
