Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Navy moneyline only at a sensible price

Consider Navy on the moneyline only at about -400 or better; no reliable current sportsbook line was available.

Pass on the total until a number is posted

No verified game total surfaced, and one game apiece is too small a sample for a confident over/under position; reassess when a market line is available.
