<p>The Week 7 of the NCAAF continues on Friday, October 14, when we have this American Conference duel, and you can get the best Midshipmen vs. Mustangs betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>SMU is desperate to avoid the fourth consecutive defeat when they welcome Navy at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The Mustangs are -13.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 57.5 points. These conference foes have met once in 2021, and the Mustangs won that game 31-24 in Annapolis, MD.</p>



<p><strong>Midshipmen dismantled Tulsa at home</strong></p>



<p>The Navy Midshipmen (2-3, 3-2 ATS) scored a season-high 53 points in a 53-21 home win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane and bounced back from a narrow loss to Air Force. Navy had a 36-14 lead at halftime and then controlled the game for the remainder. The Midshipmen were better in total yards (490-309), first downs (24-14), and possession (40:26-19:34), while the hosts committed only one turnover opposite Tulsa’s four.</p>



<p>As usual, Navy didn’t use its pass offense much but managed to record a passing TD Kai Puailoa-Rojas’ only pass attempt in the game. Tai Lavatai got that TD pass, but the Midshipmen were lethal on the ground with 455 yards and five touchdowns on 69 carries. Daba Fofana led the bunch with 159 yards and three touchdowns on 21 attempts. Defensively, Willie Collins V led the team with seven tackles.</p>



<p><strong>Mustangs disappointed in another loss</strong></p>



<p>The SMU Mustangs have suffered the third straight defeat as they scored season-low 19 points in a 41-19 road loss to the UCF Knights on the road. SMU actually equaled the number of total yards as the Knights (476-484) and more first downs (26-19) but committed two turnovers opposite UCF’s zero. The Knights scored 31 points in the second half, while the Mustangs scored only six in return.</p>



<p>Tanner Mordecai completed 28 of 45 passes for 295 yards and one interception. Rashee Rice was excellent in the air as he received 12 passes for 122 yards, but both of SMU’s touchdowns came on the ground. Velton Gardner led all the runners with 69 yards and a TD on 12 carries. On defense, Jimmy Phillips Jr. led all the defenders with game-high 11 tackles in total.</p>



<p>WR Jordan Kerley sat out the previous game with an unknown issue, and it is unclear if he will play on September 14 against Navy.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Navy:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-0 ATS in the last four games following an ATS win</li><li>10-1 ATS in the last 11 games vs. a team with a losing record</li><li>22-7 ATS in the last 29 conference games</li></ul>



<p><strong>SMU:</strong></p>



<ul><li>1-5 ATS in the last six conference games</li><li>0-4 ATS in the last four games following an ATS loss</li></ul>



<p><strong>Navy Midshipmen vs. SMU Mustangs Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Tanner Mordecai leads the offense that averages 355.0 passing yards per game, which is the 4th best pass offense in the country. On the other hand, the Midshipmen are not using their pass offense often, only 110.0 ypg, but they do have a top-15 run offense that averages 231.8 ypg, so I expect them to run the ball in this one. Daba Fofana is the man to watch on Friday, and given that the Mustangs are allowing 28.6 ppg and allowed 34+ points in each of their last three games, I believe the visitors have a chance here.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Midshipmen at -14.5 (-120)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>The Mustangs opened the season with a couple of great offensive displays in which they scored 93 points, but after that, their offense didn’t play well. Navy did score 53 in a win over Tulsa, but that was an anomaly given that the Midshipmen are scoring 21.2 ppg, and I surely don’t expect the visitors to erupt again here. Under is 5-1 in the Midshipmen’s last six road games; Under is 9-4 in Navy’s previous 13 games overall, while Under is 4-1 in the Mustangs’ last five games overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 57.5 points (-110)</p>

<p>Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season will close down with the AFC showdown from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, so here’s the best Monday Night Football betting pick, as the Baltimore Ravens take on the Las Vegas Raiders.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Baltimore opened as a 6.5-point favorite, but after some serious injuries among the Ravens, that moved to four points. The bookies still believe the visitors are a better team in this matchup, while the totals sit at 50.0 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The injury bug hit the Ravens hard&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>After J.K. Dobbins tore his ACL in the final preseason game, both Gus Edwards and Marcus Peters suffered season-ending injuries in practice, so the Baltimore Ravens will be quite shorthanded in 2021. The third-string RB Justice Hill is sidelined, too, leaving the undrafted rookie Ty’Son Williams to lead the Ravens’ backfield.</p>



<p>Latavius Murray will get some snaps as well, but the Ravens will certainly have to lean on Lamar Jackson a lot. Their ground game was the team’s trademark in the last few years, so it’s going to be interesting to see what’s the Ravens’ plan B.</p>



<p>Rookie wideout Rashod Bateman will miss multiple weeks, recovering from core-muscle surgery. Marquise Brown remains Lamar’s favorite target, while the Ravens expect a lot from Sammy Watkins, who joined the team in the offseason. Watkins had three solid seasons with Kansas City, but he’s also injury-prone.</p>



<h2><strong>The Raiders hope for another strong start&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Raiders have emerged victorious in their previous two openers and will try to extend their streak in 2021. Last season, Las Vegas beat Carolina on the road in Week 1, but the Raiders missed the postseason despite winning six of their first nine games.</p>



<p>Las Vegas struggled mightily on the defensive end in 2020, allowing 29.9 points per game (30<sup>th</sup> in the NFL) on 389.1 total yards (25<sup>th</sup>). Also, the Raiders recorded a paltry 21 sacks (29<sup>th</sup>) while allowing their opponents to convert 48.8 percent of their 3<sup>rd</sup> downs (30<sup>th</sup>). Gus Bradley is the Raiders’ new defensive coordinator, as Jon Gruden desperately needs more from its defensive unit.</p>



<p>On the other side of the ball, the Raiders will continue to rely on QB Derek Carr, RB Josh Jacobs, and TE Darren Waller. Carr tossed for 4103 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2020, while Waller was a monster, posting 107 receptions for 1196 yards and nine touchdowns. Jacobs ran for 1065 yards and 12 scores, so the Raiders have some deadly weapons on their offense.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Baltimore:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-10 ATS in the last 15 games against the AFC West</li></ul>



<p><strong>Las Vegas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-1 ATS in the last five outings in Week 1</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games played on Monday</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-baltimore-ravens-vs-las-vegas-raiders-pick"><strong>Baltimore Ravens vs. Las Vegas Raiders Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Ravens are a mystery, considering their injury problems. Nobody knows how their ground game is going to work without Dobbins and Edwards. On the other side, there’s a big question mark over the Raiders’ D, while their offense will have a tall task against the Ravens. Marcus Peters’ absence is a huge blow, but Baltimore has a lot of playmakers on defense.</p>



<p>This should be a tight clash, so with four points on the table, I’m backing the Raiders to cover. They’ll have strong support from the stands which could be an X-factor down the stretch. I don’t think the Ravens are capable of winning this game comfortably.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Las Vegas Raiders +4.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Ravens and Raiders. Also, the Raiders’ last five contests went in the over. On the other hand, the under is 4-1 in Baltimore’s last five games overall, and it is 6-1 in the Ravens’ previous seven showings on the road.</p>



<p>The totals look like a tricky wager. I’ll go with the over, as the Raiders probably still have to gel things on the defensive end, while their offense should be able to surpass a 20-point mark at home.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 50.0 points at -110</strong></p>

<p>An exciting Western Conference First Round series is into game six and it could end Friday night when the Memphis Grizzlies visit the Los Angeles Lakers. Memphis extended their season one more game and will now have the tough task of beating the Lakers on the road to get the series back to Memphis. Below is my NBA pick for the Grizzlies vs Lakers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-memphis-grizzles-vs-los-angeles-lakers-betting-pick"><a></a><a></a>Memphis Grizzles vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Pick</h2>



<p>The Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -4.5</p>



<p>This game will be played at crypto.com Arena at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28, 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-bet-the-los-angeles-lakers"><a></a>Why Bet the Los Angeles Lakers:</h2>



<p>✅ Los Angeles has been good of late and have won 10 of their last 13 games overall and five straight home games.</p>



<p>✅ Against Memphis, the Lakers are 2-4 against the spread in their last six meetings.</p>



<p>✅ The Grizzlies are just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-memphis-grizzlies-fighting-to-stay-alive"><a></a>Memphis Grizzlies Fighting to Stay Alive</h2>



<p>Game five was a typical NBA game that saw one team jump out a massive early game lead, the trailing team came all the way back, but then ran out of steam and the team that led early gets the win. This is exactly what happened in game five when the Grizzlies jumped out to a big first quarter lead and kept their season alive with a 116-99 victory.</p>



<p>Memphis won the first quarter by 14 points, but the Lakers started chipping away and were down just nine points at the half. The Lakers made it a one-point game late in the third quarter, trailing 75-74 with 4:36 left, but the Grizzlies quickly jumped ahead and led by 20 points just 14 seconds into the fourth quarter. A big game by Memphis with the season on the line.</p>



<p>Ja Morant continues to ball out as he had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in the win. Desmond Bane added 33 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in game five.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-los-angeles-lakers-are-one-win-away">The Los Angeles Lakers are One Win Away</h2>



<p>Los Angeles is getting nothing out of Anthony Davis and they made the decision to bench him at the most important time of the game. It will be interesting to see if this lights a fire under AD or if he sulks and is disengaged in game six.</p>



<p>In the game five loss, Anthony Davis did lead the Lakers with 31 points and 19 rebounds. LeBron James struggled, but did have 15 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists on the night.</p>
