The Navy Midshipmen (2-3, 2-1 AAC) and the SMU Mustangs (2-3, 0-1) meet in a conference game Friday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Navy vs. SMU odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Midshipmen started off slowly, including an outright loss to Delaware of the FCS as a 13-point favorite in the opener. However, Navy has wins in 2 of the last 3 games straight-up, while covering each of the last 3 outings.
The Mustangs opened 2-0 SU/1-1 ATS, but have dropped the last 3 games. That includes a 41-19 drumming from UCF on the road last weekend. SMU struggles to stop the run, and that’s not a good sign against a Navy team which always runs the ball well.
