On the Week 7 Saturday night slate is a showdown in the American that could prove to be fun.
The UTSA Roadrunners (5-1, 2-0 American) appear to be in the midst of a bounce-back campaign. They beat rival Texas State and have won three in a row, including back-to-back one-score wins over Rice and South Florida to begin conference play.
They host the Navy Midshipmen (2-3, 1-2 American), who have been largely disappointing so far, though they snapped a three-game losing streak with a 34-26 win over Tulsa last week.

UTSA vs. Navy prediction, pick:
The Roadrunners have an excellent offense with a veteran quarterback
in Owen McCown and a running back in Will Henderson III who is averaging more than six yards per carry. Its defense is less trustworthy, though, and its issues against the run are concerning given the service academy matchup here.
Navy's run game hasn't been quite as efficient as we've seen, but it remains dominant with quarterback Jackson Gutierrez leading the way with 505 yards. The pass defense has been a problem for the Mids, though, so this is a big opportunity for McCown.
I don't think Navy is good enough at what it does to win this game in a tough Alamodome atmosphere.
Prediction: UTSA 31, Navy 23
Best Bet: UTSA -6.5
