There is not much guessing when the Army has the ball. They are going to run the triple option on about 90% of their offensive plays. The essential part of that is a QB making good reads and being able to run himself a lot. This week the Army has some big potential issues. QB Kevin Hopkins has a hip injury and is listed as questionable. He is the leading rusher, and without him, the option will be missing a key decision maker as well as their best runner. Eastern Michigan has been in the 20s in six of their last seven, have played five of seven to the UNDER, and are likely to snap the ball much less here because Army drains the clock by running on every down. Make the play on the UNDER.

Pro Picks
Eastern Michigan at Army
Army needed a big game last week, and going to Texas where they have played their best football over the years was just what the doctor ordered. It got the Black Knights to 4-2 on the season as they quest for a second straight Bowl game appearance. Army has run the flex-bone option for years, and it is no secret, but they have a lot of success, melt the clock and close games. The defense has usually lagged behind, until last year when they allowed just 19.8 points per game. They have come back this year to do just about the same thing as opponents score 19.2 points per game against them, which becomes 15.4 ppg if you take out the game vs. Ohio State. Eastern Michigan lost a lot from their offense of a year ago, but the defense is vastly improved, and all five of their games have played UNDER with no team topping the 27 point mark in those games. This will be a game with a fast moving clock, limited plays, and two rock solid defenses. Make the play on the UNDER.
