- Army vs. Navy
- 3 p.m. ET, CBS
Short is a dynamic, do-it-all back for Army. He's been used as both a running back and receiver this year, but his usage is sporadic — he's had two or fewer carries in four games this season, and rarely tops two receptions (just once).
Our projections think this number is a touch too high.
Pick: Noah Short Less Than 59.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards
- South Alabama vs. Western Michigan
- 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
Womack was a very low aDot player last year but has expanded his role a bit to feature more downfield work.
He's been under this number in just 4/9 games after missing the first month of the season, but he was held without a target or catch against EMU in Western Michigan's season finale.
Pick: Kenneth Womack Less Than 49.5 Receiving Yards
- Army vs. Navy
- 3 p.m. ET, CBS
Horvath started the year red-hot, hitting this number in five of his first seven games before a thumb injury derailed the last month of his season (and Navy's). He rushed for 33, 122, 211, 84, 115, 56 and 129 yards to start the season.
However, it sounds like he's healthy now and if so, this number is way too low. He's combined insane efficiency with great volume for a QB at his best, and he's not as big a threat to lose sack yardage as many other quarterbacks.
Pick: Blake Horvath More Than 58.5 Rushing Yards
- Army vs. Navy
- 3 p.m. ET, CBS
Heidenreich's receiving usage has really slowed down at the end of the season, going under this number in 4-of-6 games as Navy's schedule got tougher.
Perhaps Horvath's injury played a part in that too, but our projections still like him to finish less than 37.5 at this lofty price.
Pick: Eli Heidenreich Less Than 37.5 Receiving Yards
- Army vs. Navy
- 3 p.m. ET, CBS
The fullback's volume picked up down the stretch and although he topped this number in 3-of-6 to close the regular season, he still topped 30 yards in the three misses. The volume is there against this low number.
Pick: Alex Tecza More Than 35.5 Rushing Yards
- South Alabama vs. Western Michigan
- 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
Womack was a very low aDot player last year but has expanded his role a bit to feature more downfield work.
He's been under this number in just 4/9 games after missing the first month of the season, but he was held without a target or catch against EMU in Western Michigan's season finale.
Pick: Kenneth Womack Less Than 49.5 Receiving Yards
