Air Force vs. Navy odds, picks, predictions, best bets

The race for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy is on as the Navy Midshipmen (4-0) host the Air Force Falcons in Week 6 college football action on Saturday on CBS and Paramount+. The visiting Falcons haven’t won a game since Week 1 and are hoping to regain dominance over the Shipmen after their four-game winning streak in the head-to-head matchup was snapped last season. Navy defeated Air Force 34-7 last October and should be confident heading into Saturday’s game with a perfect record in 2025. 

Kickoff from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is set for noon ET. The Midshipmen are 13.5-point favorites in the latest Air Force vs. Navy odds, and the over/under for total points scored is 51.5.

Now, the model has zeroed in on Navy vs. Air Force. You can head to SportsLine now to see its picks. Here are several college football odds and betting lines for Air Force vs. Navy in Week 6:

Why Air Force can cover

The Falcons’ Achilles heel this season has been their defense, which is allowing 38.8 points per game, but their offense could help keep Saturday’s game in Annapolis close. Sophomore quarterback Liam Szarka has thrown for 638 yards over four games and is coming off of a three-touchdown outing against Hawaii. He has the opportunity to propel Air Force downfield against a Navy pass rush that is allowing 212.8 yards per game, and potentially keep the Shipmen from building too big of a lead. See which team to back at SportsLine. 

Why Navy can cover

Navy quarterback Blake Horvath is on pace to have another huge season under center, and he will no doubt want to rebound after averaged 13.2 yards per pass against Rice and didn’t have a passing touchdown. The senior has led every aspect of Navy’s offense, contributing 355 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground heading into Week 6. He threw for 134 yards and added 19 carries and two rushing TDs against the Falcons last season, and he is expected to have no problem exploiting the Air Force defense on Saturday. See which team to back at SportsLine.
