Army Black Knights vs. Air Force Falcons Prediction
I’m on the over here. I know conventional wisdom in the past says you see service academies against each other, you take the under. However, I think we’re in a new era of offense with these option attacks as almost all of them have a passing aspect to their game now and aren’t just handing the ball off every single play. We just saw Air Force and Navy duke it out for 65 points and I think something similar could be in store here. Give me the over here.
