Air Force at Navy

In this battle for the coveted Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, the Naval Academy has won six years in a row. While the Air Force holds a commanding 25-16 all-time edge in the series, Navy has been the better team in recent years taking out the Falcons six straight years. Air Force had a lot of problems on the road losing to Minnesota and then last week, the offense could not find the end-zone against a rather weak San Diego State team. Air Force has thrived on defense, where they lead the country averaging +3.25 turnovers per game. It will be difficult for Air Force to score on the Navy defense that is better than their No. 71 passing yards allowed ranking, mainly due to stepping up in class vs. Pittsburgh and Ohio State. Air Force usually has a decent team and isn’t listed as a dog often, but have struggled to win when they are losing their last four ATS. Navy has pounded the MWC as they have a 12-1 ATS record in their last 13 against them and, overall as a favorite of three points or less, Navy has delivered the cash to a 6-1 ATS mark. The Falcons are 0-6 ATS against Navy in the last six meetings and I don't see this as the year they break through. Navy gets the call in this one.
