    • North Texas enters 4-1 in its last five; Navy is 1-4 over the same window.
    • At 58.5c, the edge over the sportsbook devigged away probability is only roughly 1-2 points.
    Heater Two-Hour
      • North Texas is only a modest favorite at the current market price; Navy's home field and option rushing attack can keep this close.

      Saturday Board Pairs
      • Six-game FBS sample: North Texas owns +0.259 EPA/play, 52.0% success, and 16.3% explosive rate.
      • Matchup gap: North Texas offense minus Navy defensive EPA allowed is +0.137; Navy’s corresponding gap is only +0.009.
      • Most likely loss: Navy’s home option attack controls possession and turns North Texas’s +0.120 defensive EPA allowed into efficient drives.
      Key Number CFB

      • North Texas averages 0.259 offensive EPA/play and 3.27 points/drive across six games; Navy averages 0.129 and 2.64.

      • Expected quarterbacks Tayven Jackson and Jackson Gutierrez are present; recent skill-player usage is stable and weather is mostly sunny with roughly 6-mph wind.
      • The most likely loss is Navy's slower pace and recent offensive dip: 59, 51 and 75 plays in its last three games, including 0.91 points/drive versus Air Force.
