Two dramatic number shifts in this matchup. One awesome opportunity. The point spread has plunged from 12.5, and the only significant development this week is a weather forecast that favors Navy. Rain will impact the Midshipmen’s ground-oriented offense less than SMU’s more pass-minded approach. Navy recently handled Memphis in wet conditions, while SMU was trounced by TCU in the rain. As the topper, Navy has taken eight in a row straight-up in the series.
