Memphis Looks to Build On Win Over Florida State

The Memphis Tigers are off to a 3-0 start to their season, including a win on the road over the Florida State Seminoles last week. While Florida State is clearly in the midst of a down year as a program, winning in Tallahassee is never an easy task and is something the Tigers deserve credit for. Here, they will look to get a victory to move to 4-0 and to get their first win in AAC play on the year. Stopping the run will be the key if they are going to accomplish that, as the Tigers will have to shut down Navy's option offense.

Can Navy Stay Unbeaten At Home?

The Navy Midshipmen are also unbeaten to start this season, winning two straight games to open their 2024 campaign. But there are some major strength of schedule concerns for Navy going into this Memphis vs Navy matchup. The Midshipmen have wins over Bucknell of the FCS and Temple to begin their year, neither of whom are close to the level of the Tigers. But if Navy can win the point of attack on offense and control the clock, they are always capable of pulling off an upset.

Memphis vs Navy Best Bet

The unique offense of Navy could cause some problems for the Memphis defense in Saturday's Memphis vs Navy clash. But we will bank on Memphis doing enough defensively to let their superiority on offense shine through here. We will lay the points with the Tigers here, as they should get their first win in conference play this year while handing Navy their first loss of the young season.
