Temple at Navy Betting Pick & Prediction – 9/7/2024
The Temple Owls are set to take on the Navy Midshipmen on September 7, 2024 at 3:30 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook's betting odds have the Temple Owls as 13 point underdogs. In early betting action, the Temple Owls are receiving 78% of spread bets, while the Navy Midshipmen have 22% of the bets. The total of 43 has led to 11% of bets on the under and 89% of bets on the over. Here, we break down this Temple vs Navy matchup between rivals in the American Athletic Conference.
Temple Hopes to Rebound From Rough Start
The Temple Owls did not get off to a good start to their 2024 college football season. They were blown out in Week 1 by the Oklahoma Sooners, losing 51-3 in Norman. This week, the Owls are facing a much more beatable opponent in Navy, but Temple's shortcomings are still expected to result in an 0-2 start by the end of this AAC conference matchup.
It is hard to hold the statistical outputs from Temple against Oklahoma against them, given what a mismatch that game was from the start. But Temple's lack of attention to detail did manifest itself in the form of a whopping six turnovers against the Sooners. While they should avoid quite so many turnovers against Navy this week, losing the turnover battle would negatively impact the Owls' chances in this game in a major way.
Navy Aims to Avenge 2023 Loss to Temple
Navy went 5-7 last season and missed out on bowl eligibility by just one win. One of their losses that helped keep them from a bowl game came against Temple, who beat Navy 32-18 in Philadelphia in 2023. Here, Navy will look to avenge that loss and to get their second straight win of the season after opening with a blowout win over Bucknell.
The Navy offense rushed for 264 yards for 5.0 yards per carry against Bucknell in their season opener. But they threw two interceptions in that game despite rarely putting the ball in the air on offense. Just as Temple needs to be more careful with the football than they were a week ago, Navy could put itself on upset alert if they are too cavalier with the football in this contest.
Temple vs Navy Best Bet
Our best bet for Saturday's Temple vs Navy matchup is for Temple to cover the spread as a double-digit underdog on the road. While Navy should win this game on the moneyline when all is said and done, their offense doesn't typically lead to huge margins of victory. Meanwhile, we expect Temple to show some signs of life after a tough season opening spot last week.
