Air Force at Army

These teams meet every season, and there are few surprises as both like to employ the triple option on offense. Army, after a slow start, has been really effective running it in their last four games. Air Force comes in at 6-2, their best mark entering this matchup since the '98-99 season. This is a game that has been dominated by Air Force as they have won 10 of the last 11, and the last five played on the road. This Air Force team has not scored less than 24 points vs. Army in any of the past 11 games, having averaged 33.6 ppg. Army is the team that has struggled to find the scoreboard the last two years as they have managed 17 points in the last two games total. But, this is a maturing Army team that is really coming together offensively. It more resembles the Army teams that put up 22.2 ppg in the six games prior to the last two years. With the effectiveness Air Force has had against Army and the Army triple option finding the end-zone more, I look for this one to go OVER a rather low total - a total that has been topped by these teams in six of the last eight meetings.
