The annual Army-Navy game is a tradition unlike any other in college football. Being a standalone game on Saturday, there are plenty of eyes on this matchup, and for good reason. Even though there aren't traditionally many points scored between these teams, the games always find a way to be close and entertaining. But who will shine in this year’s installment? Let’s find out.
Without any further ado, let's get right into my best player prop bet for Army vs Navy on Saturday, and make sure to check out our full Army vs Navy predictions.
Bryson Daily over 63.5 rushing yards (-110)
The Black Knights offense hasn’t exactly been the most efficient this season, but they should have success on offense, as their strength is made to directly attack Navy’s weakness. Army is playing some of its best football in recent weeks and it all starts with the ground game, as it checks in at 67th in rushing success rate, about average amongst all FBS teams. I’m expecting a solid showing for the Black Knights ground attack against a Navy defense that has struggled mightily to stop anyone, ranking 116th in rushing success rate allowed. That’s where Bryson Daily comes in. The Army quarterback has the ball in his hands on nearly every play when the Black Knights are on offense, racking up 88 carries over the last 4 weeks. Daily has sailed over this number in each of the last 3 games, putting up a combined 347 rushing yards in that span. Let’s ride that momentum once again on Saturday.
