Army vs Loyola Maryland Prediction

Army has 4 road wins, but it’s in rough shape at the moment. Army has lost 4 straight games and has covered just 2 of its last 10 games. Under the 2026 calendar, Army is 3-8 ATS as an underdog. Loyola Maryland is playing its best ball of the season and has also covered 7 of its last 10 games. Loyola Maryland also beat Army on the road a month ago as a 4.5-point underdog. This feels like two teams heading in different directions. The line is reasonable. I’ll lay the chalk with Loyola Maryland.
