Navy vs Charlotte Prediction

The Charlotte 49ers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a double-digit underdog, so I did consider the points. The problem is, Charlotte does nothing well to scare Navy, and its defense is a disaster. The Navy Midshipmen are downright rolling right now, and that includes four straight covers. A Navy offense that’s second in rushing and fifth in scoring should light up this Charlotte defense that’s 117th in total defense and 101st in scoring defense. Give me Navy to take Charlotte behind the woodshed and improve to 6-0 on the season.
