The Midshipmen will be looking to avenge a 34-31 home loss to Ball State last season.
Navy is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 vs. the MAC.
The OVER is 8-3 in Navy?s last 11 games.

Ball State (-7, O/U 60): Ball State - one of the favorites in the MAC Conference this season - got off to a strong start by blasting Northeastern 48-14. Quarterback Nate Davis was close to flawless, completing 21-of-24 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns. WR Dante Love and TE Darius Hill were Davis top targets as usual, combining for 14 receptions against Northeastern. The Cardinals are hoping their defense has more success against Navy's triple-option attack than it did a year ago when they allowed the Midshipmen to rack up 521 on the ground. Head Coach Brady Hoke said he's been staying up late watching film on the Navy offense, trying to find ways to stop its potent rushing attack.
Ball State is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 non-conference games.
The OVER is 10-1 in Ball State?s last 11 games in September.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 35
