Air Force’s variation of the flexbone offense is good for 291 yards per game, or fourth in the nation. Army is eighth with 246.7 rushing yards per game; coach Stan Brock has gone back to the triple option with gusto after last year’s 3-9 (4-6-1 ATS) finish.

Both defenses are allowing 304 yards per game, with Army a little more successful against the run. The Falcons have seven passing TDs this year despite rarely throwing the ball; Army has just two. Air Force has won nine of the last 10 games versus Army at 7-3 ATS, and the under is 4-1 in their last five encounters. That’s enough to make the Falcons 8.5-point road faves this year.
