💰 Best Bet #1 Army Black Knights / Spread / -7 at -110 / 58% / Army’s dominant run game and home-field advantage at Michie Stadium exploit Temple’s weak rush defense, with recent form showing Army covering in 4 of last 5 home games.

💰 Best Bet #2 Under / Total / 45.5 at -110 / 55% / Both teams feature low-tempo offenses in the 2025 season, Army allowing just 14 PPG at home while Temple’s defense limits explosive plays, leading to unders in 6 of Army’s last 8 games.

💰 Best Bet #3 Army Black Knights / Moneyline / -260 / 72% / Army’s superior SP+ ratings (offense 120, defense 110) and 4-1 home record in 2025 give them a clear edge over a struggling Temple squad on the road.

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Bryson Daily / Over Passing Yards / 150.5 / -115 / 68% / Daily’s 2025 efficiency (65% completion, 7.2 YPA) faces Temple’s secondary allowing 220+ passing yards in 4 of last 6 road games, with no major Army injuries boosting his usage.

Player Prop #2: Kanye Udoh / Over Rushing Yards / 85.5 / -110 / 65% / Udoh averages 92 yards per game in 2025, exploiting Temple’s run defense (4.8 YPC allowed), especially with Army’s triple-option scheme generating 250+ rush yards consistently.

Player Prop #3: Forestn Bishop / Under Passing Yards / 180.5 / -105 / 62% / Bishop’s 2025 stats show 155 YPG average under pressure, and Army’s havoc rate (25%) disrupts Temple’s passing game, as seen in their last 5 opponents holding QBs under 170 yards.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Army, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line movement to -7, making a follow on the favorite optimal rather than fading. Temple’s injuries to key defenders like DE Sekou Kromah (out) and DB Jaylen Castleberry (questionable) further tilt the matchup toward Army’s ground attack. Overall game scoring projects low due to both teams’ defensive efficiencies and slow tempos, favoring the under.
