💰 Best Navy vs. Memphis parlay picks & SGP bets

🚀  Alex Tecza Under 43.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tecza is second on Navy with 669 yards. While he has rushed for at least 50 yards in seven of 10 contests, this is a bad matchup for him.

Memphis has the top rush defense in the American, allowing just 127.4 yards per game. Quarterback Blake Horvath has been an unstoppable runner, and with 52 more carries than Tecza, I anticipate him taking too many touches from the running back in this game. Our Navy vs. Memphis player props anticipate the QB having a solid game on the ground.

🚀  Memphis Over 31.5 points (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Navy has the top rushing attack in the nation, but having the 26th-best average time of possession per game hasn’t led to keeping opponents off the scoreboard. Navy is allowing 27.9 points per game.

Memphis is averaging 36.2 points per contest, and with a great run defense, I expect the Tigers to garner more possessions than most Navy opponents. Memphis will score at least 32 for the fourth time in five games. 

Our Navy vs. Memphis prediction calls for the home side to land right in this range as well, even if I like them to push a little higher.

🚀  Sutton Smith to score a touchdown (+185) ⭐⭐⭐

Memphis has scored 34 rushing touchdowns, but those scores have been pretty evenly dispersed between four players. While Smith has received 10 or fewer carries in seven consecutive games, he still leads the team in rushing yards with 644.

Smith scored last week while rushing for 109 yards on seven carries. This week, Smith’s odds to score are the most profitable of any Memphis running back against a defense that has allowed 18 rushing touchdowns.
