AAC Week 1 College Picks

430

Navy Vs Hawaii

Hawaii really put on the points last week versus Colorado St 43 points and their quarterback McDonald amassed over 500 total yards. However this week they have a much tougher test with The Midshipmen. Navy loves to control the clock (averaged 36:18 time of possession last year) to limit opportunities which they will have to do to be successful against this new Hawaii offense. The line opened up at 51 and has been driven up to 61 largely due to an over-reaction to Hawaii most recent game. Possible let down for Hawaii as came out as 17 point dogs and won  straight up last week. Navy games hit the under at 64% last year. I will gladly take my chances on the Under 61. 2 unit play

 

Rice Vs Houston

Technically a home game for Rice but since these two campuses are roughly 10 mins away I see it being packed with Cougar faithful. Rice barely snuck out a win against Prairie View last week. I don’t see how this team scores on Ed Oliver and the 59% of production they return on Defense. Prairie View’s Qb ran well on Rice I can only imagine the field day D’Eriq King will have.  Give me Houston -26. 1 unit play
