They are currently tied for first in the AAC with Army. Both teams are 3-0 in conference play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t a crazy selection, but there is still plenty of value here. Navy\u2019s odds to win the conference are fourth shortest in the league after it was a +3500 long shot in the preseason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Midshipmen already knocked off Memphis but still have to play the other top teams in the league. They should have no problems with Charlotte or Rice. The final three conference games of the season will be telling, however. Navy faces South Florida, Tulane, and East Carolina to close out the conference slate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navy\u2019s final game of the year is of course the meeting with Army, but that contest will not count as a conference game despite both teams being in<a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/american\/\"> AAC<\/a>. There\u2019s already been discussion that Army and Navy could meet in back-to-back weeks, both in the AAC title game on Dec. 6 and then again in their annual meeting on Dec. 14.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This outcome looks more and more realistic each week.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9a04ddb9\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ca0a0411 related_art_block\">\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-808aa430 gb-headline-text\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-pac-12-boise-state-conference-realignment-mountain-west-college-football-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pac-12 &amp; Boise State Conference Realignment: How The Broncos\u2019 Move Impacts The Mountain West &amp; College Football<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-bowl-game-predictions-projections-group-of-five-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 FBS Bowl Game Predictions, Including the College Football Playoff, Frisco Bowl &amp; More<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-ashton-jeanty-heisman-trophy-watch-boise-state-rb-best-player-cfb-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ashton Jeanty Heisman Trophy Watch: Why The Boise State RB Could Be The Best Player In College Football<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sam-houston-600-to-win-conference-usa\">Sam Houston +600 To Win Conference USA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, Sam Houston picked up a huge upset win over Texas State. The Bearkats were able to keep pace with the Bobcats\u2019 offense and prevailed on a last-second field goal from Christian Pavon. The win moved them to No. 10 in the<a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fbs-2024-g5-top-25-media-poll-cfb-rankings-week-6-cpcp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> HERO Sports G5 Top 25<\/a>. Outside of a loss to UCF, the Bearkats have looked great this year. They were +1800 to win the conference in the preseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the way it looks now, SHSU should have no trouble with the remainder of its <a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/c-usa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUSA<\/a> games besides Western Kentucky and Liberty. It plays WKU in two weeks and hosts Liberty in the final week of the season. If the Bearkats can defeat WKU, then their odds to make the CUSA Championship obviously drastically increase. There\u2019s a chance they could meet Liberty in back-to-back weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearkats have already knocked off one of the top G5 programs. Who says they can\u2019t do it again?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-marshall-1400-to-win-the-sun-belt\">Marshall +1400 To Win The Sun Belt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds for the Thundering Herd to win the<a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/sun-belt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Sun Belt<\/a> have barely moved since the preseason when they were sitting at +1600. They haven\u2019t really done much for their odds to be any shorter than that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s encouraging is that, outside of James Madison, the rest of the conference hasn\u2019t looked much better. I like the way the Herd\u2019s schedule plays out, and I think they have a serious chance to win each of their conference games. They avoid Texas State and Louisiana and get App State and Coastal Carolina at home. A win against App State this weekend will be key. Marshall\u2019s toughest game will be in Week 14 against JMU.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019ll need to clean some things up, but the Thundering Herd could easily go 6-2 in league play, which could be enough to land a spot in the Sun Belt title game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve learned a lot about most of the Group of Five teams through the first five weeks of the season.
