Pick
I’m looking at the over here. Navy’s played in a ton of overs this season and going back to last year as well while Boston U is scoring fairly well themselves and are 11-7 to the over this season. Both are putting up 70+ points more often than not and I think this is a high-scoring matchup here so give me the over.
