You would definitely NOT want to bet Navy on the money line this week as Notre Dame has gone 46-3 Straight Up as a favorite since 2018.
The best bet on Navy as we head into the new season would be for the Midshipmen to win Under 6.5 regular season games in 2023 even with the -145 price tag.
Despite winning just four regular season games in 2022, Navy managed to go 7-5 Against The Spread and thus somehow turning a profit for gamblers.
They performed even better the season prior, going 8-4 ATS despite winning just four regular season games Straight Up.
In 2019, Navy had its last winning season with a 10-2 record Straight Up and finishing 9-3 Against The Spread.
The Midshipmen have certainly played well Against The Spread in recent years, but are not expected to improve much in 2023.
