Spread Opens Navy 14 pts. > Wave (Rotation nos. 347-348 for Vegas Sheet).

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-foo ... las-vegas/

Navy “body of work” to date:

1) 9/1 – Navy 42, Florida Atlantic 19

Our guys believe in WF, they will fight to the end; I think this will be a very close game.

14 is too many. I understand it but it's way too many. I think it will come down. If it doesn't, I'm taking the points.

Always so much money to be made in September, since Vegas and public takes forever to adapt to year-to-year changes in teams.

We're better than I thought.

I'm going Annapolis on Saturday. I think we lose, but it's a close call and we cover. 14 is a lot of points.

Last year, coming off that 3-9 CJ season, and only the Wake Forest and Southern games to go by, we were only 6-7 point dogs at home. And Navy was 2-0. So basically, when we take into account home field, they think we about the same distance apart as we were a year ago.

I would pass. Tulane may cover, sure, but there hasn't been enough football played to be confident enough to bet on Tulane to cover against Navy @Navy.

We've handled Navy defensively for 2 straight years. If we make it 3 in a row, I like our chances.

They beat us at Yulman last year 21-14, and in 2015 @ Annapolis 31-14.

I think Tulane-Navy will again be very evenly matched teams, just like for 2016.

And if you remember the 2015 game, when we were terrible and uncoached, wasn't the score something like 17-14 at the end of the third quarter?

I thought the same thing, a very poorly coached CJ team hung tough with Navy on the road at Annapolis to the very end. Saturday's game should go right down to the wire, WF, a good coach, will have our guys ready. Win this game and we could be off to a very good season.

I like us straight up. I will be taking the points in a big way if I can get them at anything above +8.

A win here means that Tulane heads to play Army at 2-1. It gives us room for error.

It would be the biggest win in several years as far as setting up for a successful run.

And this is the type of game we always seem to choke on. Lets hope things are different this time. I must say, I really think the team has bought into what CWF and his staff are selling.

This should be different than under the "Buffet Bob" Toledo show (error?) and the saga of the Army game. Remember how the Army game was always going to be the "turning point" for our season under "Buffet Bob" yet he managed to lose 4 out of 5 of those games? I have seen enough now to be confident the WF era will be quite different for Wave football.

Over/Under 48.5 pts. (Rotation nos. 347-348 for Vegas Sheet).

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-foo ... las-vegas/

Right in line with our Navy Game prediction thread. Last year only 35 points were scored but I think this year we have a much better offense.

Points and over take it home. Navy should have been only a 3-5point favorite today.

Points and under wins. Unless common core math has now made 44 more than 48.5. :o

I thought I read somewhere that 35 was the over.
Ok. I see where the 35 came in. That was last year's total.

Remember that Vegas isn't trying to pick the outcome of the game - it's trying to get even betting on both sides. Given that that was the case, it was a reasonable line.

In terms of the outcome of the game, Tulane's better prepared to defend the option than the vast majority of FBS teams due to its offense and the fact that it had to prepare for to triple option games in its first 4 games, so slightly better AAC teams may not be as competitive as Tulane was.
