This is a massive mismatch in Houston's favor IMO.

Navy is deadly on the ground but ranks dead last in the FBS in passing offense with 61.7 yards per game. Here the Mids will run into a Cougars D which ranks 20th in the nation against the run. Offensively the Cougars rank 3rd in the nation in scoring and are very versatile, ranking top 20 for both passing and rushing yards.

Houston has won five of its first six games on the season and enters this game on a three-game winning streak. It's coming off a 42-20 triumph at East Carolina and 16-7 ATS in its last 23 games after scoring more than 40 points in its previous game. Navy has lost three straight and failed to cover the spread in four consecutive games.

8* play on Houston Cougars-.
