Army Black Knights vs Memphis Tigers Predictions October 31, 2026
Memphis will beat Army, with a projected score of Memphis 31, Army 28. The Tigers’ balance between passing and rushing production is the strongest reason to favor them, supported by their 4-0 home record. Army’s productive ground game and recent winning streak make the margin less convincing. Neither Memphis -6 (-109) nor the 59.5 total offers a strong enough betting edge; the official recommendation is Pass.
Army Black Knights vs Memphis Tigers prediction and best bet
Memphis gets the winner pick because its season-long offensive production offers a stronger foundation than either team’s latest comeback alone. The Tigers average 508.3 yards and 36.1 points per game, with substantial contributions through the air and on the ground. That gives them multiple ways to build scoring drives.
Winning and covering six points are separate judgments. Army has won three straight, is 2-1 away and just produced 275 rushing yards against Tulsa. Those results make a competitive finish credible. Memphis is the choice to win, but its home record and offensive output are insufficient reasons to insist on a touchdown margin. The best betting decision is Pass.
