Rice vs. Navy Odds & Betting Predictions - September 27, 2025

Navy off the bye, playing with revenge getting embarrassed last year in Houston. Rice runs the option, but they are not an “ option team” quite yet with their composite make up of their roster. I think this is absolutely a spot for Navy to drop the hammer and show these guys how it’s really supposed to be done.

Project 51; will discuss on BBOC

I had this one circled from the summer. My notes read, anything over 40 play the under. This is a Service Academy Total. Aside from the fact that they both run plays at bottom 10 tempos, they also are 1st (Navy) and 3rd (Rice) in rush play percentage at 80% or higher. Slow pace plus a running clock means we could see fewer than 130 plays. This only loses if we get too many explosive plays. Rice is dead last in explosiveness on offfense. Navy is markedly better, but still only 73rd in explosiveness. The question here is can Rice play disciplined, fundamental defense and TACKLE. The Owls are 40th in tackling which is a really good indicator. And one little nugget, DC John Kay was a HS coaching legend in Texas, he won four 6A state titles at North Shore. And when you coach at that level you see all kinds of offenses, including plenty with option elements. Duncanville, a high school powerhouse, had a nasty Power Option offense with lots of QB runs and he beat them in a state title. So he has the experience schemeing up against what Drew Cronic is whipping up in his Delaware Wing T lab.
