NJIT Highlanders vs. Navy Midshipmen Prediction

I’m on NJIT and the points here. I have been impressed with what the Highlanders have done early on this season and while Navy is far more battle tested and at home here, I wonder how much that UNC game took out of the Midshipmen for this game. I think that this is going to be a bit of a tighter game than one would expect, so give me NJIT and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: NJIT +15.5
