Midshipmen vs Bearcats Key Stats
Xavier Arline is capable of doing anything. The 5-foot-9 playmaker, who has played everything from lacrosse to optional quarterback, has only scored one big rushing touchdown this season.
Last week, he scored on a 23-yard touchdown run to help the Navy defeat the Annapolis-based Temple 27-20 in overtime. As the fourth quarter came to a close, the Navy held a 10-point advantage, but the Owls scored 10 straight points to force OT.
The Navy gains 244.5 yards on the ground per game. Daba Fofana has the most rushing yards with 488. They rank 115th in terms of passing yards allowed per game (364.4) and rushing yards allowed per game (92.4). (8th).
Cincinnati had a 19-game conference winning run into their matchup last week against UCF. Since dropping their opening game, 31-24, at Arkansas, they won six straight games. Their recent victories over USF (28-24) and SMU (29-27) were narrow victories, so they weren't performing well going into the UCF game.
Definitely a game that could have been won, Cincinnati's failure to run the ball effectively (35 yards) cost them the game against UCF. Ben Bryant has 25 out of 45 completions for 298 yards and one touchdown.
They rank 25th in defence, giving up 330.4 yards per game, 193 passing yards, and 137.4 rushing yards (59th). They average 415.6 yards of offense per game, but only 144.4 of those yards come from rushing (71st).

Midshipmen vs Bearcats Best Picks and Prediction
The line is lengthy. Arline is a good stand-in for Lavatai, despite the fact that the Navy failed to defeat the mediocre Temple at home last week. Since beating Indiana 45-24 at home on September 24, Cincinnati has not successfully covered a large spread. This is the only game they have won against an FBS team this year.
You can then consider the forecast, which calls for rain. The Navy's optional offense, which doesn't require passing, will benefit from that. While Cincinnati struggles to run the football, the Mids do a good job of doing so. Put the dog in hiding.
Pick: Navy +18.5 (-110)
