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.
