Army vs Lafayette Prediction

This is senior night for Lafayette and the Leopards have seen eight of their 11 wins come at home. However, Army is the better team and you make a lot of money in this business when getting the better team and free points. Army hasn’t lost two straight games in nearly two months and beat Lafayette in the first meeting. Army is one of the better teams in the Patriot and getting points feels too good to be true. I’m still not asking any questions. Give me Army and the bucket. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Army Black Knights +3.5
