Lehigh vs. Navy Prediction

I’m leaning toward Navy here. The Mountain Hawks may have had a bit more success as of late, but Lehigh hasn’t been a team worth backing for much of anything on the road this season as they’ve lost 10 of 12 games away from home so far this season. Navy won the first meeting on the road in blowout fashion, and it’s one of just three road wins the Middies have this season. Navy’s been much better at home this year and I think Navy gets the job done so I’ll lay the bucket with the Midshipmen in this spot.
