Why Navy can cover
The Midshipmen are coming off of a very defensive win against Charlotte, and they have the opportunity to pounce on a Falcons squad that will be without its starting QB. Zac Larrier is the only player on the team who has attempted a pass this season, and he ranks second on the team with 473 rushing yards. If Navy can pressure backup QB Jensen Jones early, the Midshipmen should have no problem covering.
Navy's defense will be key since it could be without it own starting QB, Tai Lavatai. The Midshipmen held the Cowboys to 142 receiving yards and will look to do the same in Week 8 in order to keep this game close. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Air Force can cover
While the Falcons have their own concerns at the QB position, they can also exploit Navy's ordeal. Lavatai left last week's game with rib soreness and his status for Saturday's game remains unclear. Their team is also depleted on defense, so the Falcons have a chance to run up the scoreboard.
Air Force also has the upper hand when it comes to recent history between these teams. The Falcons are 2-0 over the last two meetings and have outscored the Midshipmen 36-13, which could be a hint at them covering the spread in Week 8. See picks at SportsLine.
