Navy vs Boston University Prediction

The home team has won each of the two matchups between the two teams this season, and that is going to be the case again here. Boston scored 87 points in the last game, and they will find success here. The Navy’s offense has been better in the last couple of games, but they aren’t going to find as much success scoring here. Even if they score 70 points here, Boston’s offense will be so strong, and they will run away. Boston is 8-2 against the spread in their last ten home games. Back Boston against the spread.
