American University vs Navy Pick

American University vs Navy ATS Pick

  • Navy Midshipmen +1.5

The Navy team is coming into the game here with a better record overall, but also a better rebounding team. The Navy team has ended up getting a better passing attack as well which will keep the American University team off balance in keeping the Navy team in check. WIth that being the case, the Navy team will end up getting the win and covering the spread as the underdog in this game here.

American University vs Navy Total Pick

  • Under 139.5

The game here is coming in with a total that is set at 139.5 points. However, these teams are playing good on the defensive side of the ball and I think that will keep the game close to the under here. The offense for Navy will show up decent, but even then the American defense will keep the Navy offense in check and stop them from running away with the game.
