Navy vs Coppin State Prediction 

Coppin State comes into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, but they have lost their first 12 games by double digits. The Eagles are shooting just 35.7% from the field and they are scoring 54.4 points per game this year. Navy has lost four games in a row and they only have two wins against D-1 opponents so far this season. The Midshipmen are the much better offensive team in this matchup, but they also struggle on defense. Both of these teams are not very good this season, but I am going to take a shot with Coppin State, especially after showing some life against NC State two games ago. Take the Eagles here.
