Air Force at Army

Marcus Stokes threw four touchdown passes and ran for another in Memphis's 49-22 win over Army on October 31. The week before, Tulsa scored 35 on the Black Knights, so Army has allowed 84 points in its last two games. Air Force is 6-2 and Army is 5-3, and Air Force beat UConn 35-26 that same Saturday while Kemper Hodges ran for 200 yards and four touchdowns. Army's recent damage has come through the air. Liam Szarka is the Falcons' passing leader at 19 of 38 for 296 yards, so that is not how Air Force scores. Air Force's 14-9 win over Navy on October 3 came on the same ground-and-clock formula Army uses. Cale Hellums has 172 carries against 76 pass attempts for the Black Knights, so both offenses are built to run. Army's 21-17 win at Temple and 20-17 win over Tulane finished with 38 and 37 combined points, and last year's meeting between these two also went to Army 20-17, which was 37 combined. Two run-first offenses running the clock means few possessions, and few possessions favor the team getting a plus price at the better record. Our bankroll needs Air Force to win only a little over two games in five at these odds. I built both bets on that one driver. Take Air Force on the moneyline and take the UNDER.
