The AAC has some solid teams, my friends. And I've dominated this conference this season, once again. This Friday night I have my FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS GAME OF THE MONTH winner for you. It seems that every Friday I get you paid on this big FNL winner, allowing us to go into the weekend with a bankroll.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Houston Cougars.

Game 115.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

With Houston dropping their last outing back on November 1 at the hands of West Virginia at home, it compels me even more to like them in this matchup against Central Florida. You see, they are one of four teams in the Big 12 with two conference losses. Ahead of them with just one loss each is Texas Tech and Cincinnati, and sitting atop the throne of the conference, is BYU who is perfect in Big 12 play this season. Looking at their remaining schedule, after this week on the road at Central Florida, they go at home to play TCU, then finish the regular season on the road at Baylor. With all respect to those teams, the Cougars are a little bit better at this point in my opinion. However, the Knights, who underwent their fourth straight up loss over the last five games last week getting routed by Baylor 30-3, have a much difficult task remaining in the regular season. After this they go on the road to face the Red Raiders, then go back home to face the Cowboys, then finish up their regular season on the road at the Cougars. Two of those three opponents they have remaining on their regular season schedule, are amongst the best in the conference. Talk about being in a look ahead situation (lol). Both offenses could put up points with UCF possessing a little bit better of a running game. But Central Florida also has committed 10 turnovers, as they step on their own toes quite a bit. Defensively, the Knights also allow a few less points. They are phenomenal against the pass, but are beatable on the ground to the rush. The Cougars are a smart team and know what they have to do here. They must run the football, run the football, run the football, keeping their opponents defense honest. Also keeping their opponents “D” on the field, and their “O” off of it. With this line ping-ponging around a pick ‘em or a one in either direction, I do give Houston an edge. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

  Notre Dame's top-tier run defense is perfectly positioned to neutralize Navy's triple-option offense, which has struggled against elite fronts (averaging 2.1 YPC in the last three games).  .

  Neutralizing the option forces Navy into unfavorable passing situations, allowing Notre Dame to control the line of scrimmage and possession, which aligns with the Irish's strong defense-first identity in this matchup.

  Brian Newberry's teams are 0-5 ATS  in their last five opportunities against teams scoring 37 or more points per game which gives credence to a strong betting angle for a  prediction of a decisive Notre Dame win.

The all-time series lead of 81-13-1 for Notre Dame and the current seven-game winning streak  strongly favors the Fighting Irish. The last two scores being 42-3 and 51-14 underscore this recent lopsidedness.

Projected score : Notre Dame 47 Navy 16

#154 ASA FREE PLAY ON Eastern Michigan -2.5 over Bowling Green, Saturday at 1 PM ET - BG is definitely heading the wrong direction losing 5 of their last 6 games with their only win coming vs Toledo in a game the Falcons were outgained 429 to 226. They have massive problems at QB with starter Drew Pyne banged up and if he can’t go it’s most likely 4th stringer Hunter Najm. There is some turmoil in this program as well as 3 players were arrested last weekend and they fired their offensive coordinator this week. BG’s last 3 games have all been non-covers and not close with an average of loss of 21+ points vs the number. EMU is in a good spot at home and coming off a bye after covering 5 of their last 7 games. They went into the bye after playing one of the top teams in the MAC (Ohio) to the wire at home losing 28-21 on a Bobcat TD with under 1:00 minute remaining in the game. If we focus on MAC stats only (comparable teams) EMU has been the better team with better YPG, YPP, and point differentials. We like Eastern Michigan vs a team that seems to be in a bit of disarray.

David's Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this spot. The line appears to be highly influenced by Memphis jaw-breaking 8-1 record against the spread, but we think Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall is cooking up an upset and a big effort after a blowout loss at UTSA, just like they did after their first loss of the season.
