Rice at Army

Premium Pick

Rice managed to score only 17 points per game in 2017 and 19 points in an injury-plagued 2018 season, which was played with the third-most freshmen of any team in the country. The Owls went 5-2-1 UNDER its last eight games and Army stayed UNDER in three of its last five. Rice returns only six on offense and three quarterbacks are battling for the starting spot, including frontrunner Wiley Green along with Tom Stewart and Evan Marshman. Army allowed only 17.7 points per game last season and only 22 the year before. The Black Knights took Oklahoma into overtime before losing 28-21 last year and they could be looking ahead to next week when they go to the Big House and play Michigan.  The Owls plan on using several different looks defensively to try and slow down Army's triple-option offense. Kelvin Hopkins Jr. became the first Army player in history to complete more than 1,000 yards in both rushing and passing in a season. There will be a lot of time-consuming running plays in this one. Play the game to stay UNDER.
