The matchup
Air Force has split its last five games with a 35-26 win over UConn Huskies, a 14-28 loss at Wyoming Cowboys, a 41-31 win over UNLV Rebels, a 28-7 win at Northern Illinois Huskies and a 14-9 win over Navy Midshipmen. The Falcons have scored 234 points this season while allowing 172.
Army has also gone through some swings, falling 22-49 at Memphis Tigers, then winning 38-35 at Tulsa Golden Hurricane, 56-24 over Florida Atlantic Owls and 20-17 over Tulane Green Wave, before dropping a 29-31 decision at Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. The Black Knights have put up 269 points this season against 204 allowed.
Key matchups
This one comes down to whether Army's offense, which has put up 269 points this season, can keep moving the chains against an Air Force defense that has held opponents to 172 points. On the other side, Army's defense has allowed 204 points and will need to slow down an Air Force attack that has generated 234 points of its own. Whichever side wins that battle up front likely controls the clock and the scoreboard.
The pick
Army is favored by 4.0 points with a market score of 24-20 and a total of 44.5, suggesting oddsmakers expect a tight, high-scoring finish at Michie Stadium. Army's offense has the higher season point total, but its one-game losing streak and the Memphis blowout loss are red flags. Air Force arrives with a one-game winning streak and the better scoring defense, giving the Falcons a real shot at the road upset.
