It's always difficult to handicap the first round of the season, but with Navy you usually know what you'll get; a stout defense and a lot of running. Navy's defense returns seven starters from last season, and I think the Fighting Irish will find it difficult to get separation. Additionally, Navy's option offense usually leads to long drives which will shorten the game and limit the amount of time the Fighting Irish have the ball in their hands.

Bet on Navy +20.5 with 3% of your bankroll.
