Navy vs Lafayette Prediction

In this Navy vs Lafayette Prediction, Navy is coming as -4.5 road favorites. Navy has been the far better team this season and have been red-hot lately with a 9-1 record in their last 10 games and 7-2 against the spread in their last 9. On the flip side, Lafayette is just 3-5 both straight up and against the spread in its last 8 games and have been weaker both on the offensive and the defensive end. Navy has the 5th-best defense in the entire nation and I expect them to get the job done on the road in this one and cover the spread.
