Navy defeated Florida Atlantic 42–32 in a double-digit victory. Florida Atlantic covered by 4.5; Game went Over by 10.5. The market closed at Navy -14.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Navy -18.4 - a gap of 3.9 points toward Navy, of which 2.9 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
Caden Veltkamp threw for 299 yards and 2 touchdowns, completing 25 of 41 passes, indicating the passing game can be effective against strong opponents.
The Owls managed only 69 rushing yards, highlighting a significant weakness that opposing defenses can exploit, especially against run-heavy teams.
A forced fumble and an interception by Navy's Coleman Cauley led to 14 quick points, demonstrating that FAU must protect the ball better to stay competitive.
Despite trailing 41-19, FAU scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes, showing fight and ability to produce under pressure, which could be a morale boost.
Navy rushed for 397 yards and 4 touchdowns, indicating FAU's defense struggles against option-based offenses, a key area to address in preparation.
