Memphis Football: Sitewide Predictions for the Navy Game
Memphis football will look to build off of their opening week blowout, as they take on the Navy Midshipmen. Here are our sitewide predictions for that game.
The Memphis Tigers football team blew out the Mercer Bears last week and they are looking to do the same thing this week, as they have an away game against the Navy Midshipmen. Navy is coming off of a disappointing performance against Hawaii.
Kickoff will be at 3:30 PM. The game will be broadcasted on NBCSN
Stetson Marlin’s Prediction:
The Memphis offense will be on point in this game again. Hawaii was able to move the ball all day on this team and I see the Memphis offense doing the same thing this week to the Midshipmen defense. Brady White passed for 358 yards and five touchdowns last week and has a chance to improve on that this week, especially against a defense that allowed 428 passing yards last week. This game will be closer than the game against Mercer last week, but Memphis will still win this one, running away with it at the end.
Memphis 55 – Navy 35
Kyle Schmidt’s Prediction:
Memphis 56 – Navy 28
Austin Wright’s Prediction:
Memphis 35 – Navy 28
Chris Clark’s Prediction:
Memphis is one of the highest scoring teams in the nation. They regularly put 30+ points on the board and haven’t lost to anyone but UCF since last season. That continues here.
Memphis 48 – Navy 15
Mike Patton’s Prediction:
Memphis returns to action this weekend to take on Navy in what will be an interesting matchup of contrasting styles. The Tigers have to be disciplined defensively and explosive offensively. If they can do both of these things, look for them to bury Navy.
