In the battle of 2 of our service academies the Air Force Falcons will travel to Maryland to take on the Navy Midshipmen.
This game will begin at 12:00 noon eastern time and CBS will have the broadcast.
The opening line at the strip sportsbooks favor the home team Midshipmen by a point spread of -3.5. Totals players saw the opening number for this game land at 54.
Although it is early, Vegas books have seen the point spread line stand pat at -3.5 in favor of Navy among them, the Las Vegas Hilton, Stations Casinos, and the Wynn.
The numbers on this game as a whole have remained motionless in Vegas with the over/under number staying static at 54 thus far.
If you like the road team Air Force to win straight up with no points you will receive +150 odds at the Las Vegas Hilton and the Wynn as opposed to laying -170 odds in both places if you truly think Navy is for real.
Offshore books paint a similar opening picture and depict the home team with the lethal triple option attack as a -3 point favorite. The over/under number for this opened up at 53.5 offshore.
Most offshore books including Bodog, 5Dimes, and Pinnacle have bumped their point spreads up to -3.5 in favor of the road team, which can be a significant shift in the spread depending on who you like in this matchup.
There has been no change for totals bettors as that 53.5/54 numbers seems to be very consistent on both the Vegas strip and offshore for this game.
Money lines are pretty uniform as well offshore with the Air Force Falcons see their money line holding steady at +150, while the home favorite is holding strong and those who bet Navy will be laying -170 odds in doing so.
