Navy vs Lafayette Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either Navy or Lafayette, but somebody has to win. I’ll grab the bucket with Navy. Lafayette already lost to Navy last month and is coming off a loss to Loyola MD as a four-point favorite. Navy has three road wins on the season, and Lafayette has lost five times at home. Neither team is good, but there’s not enough separation to lay chalk. If forced to pick a side, I want as many points as I can get. That just so happens to be Navy. Give me the bucket with the road team, a game the Midshipmen could win outright.
