Betting Trends for vs
The Air Force Falcons have quietly put together a 7-2 record this season, and they have been stout on both sides of the ball as they rank 29th in points scored and 29th in points allowed. The Falcons run the traditional triple-option which will give the Colorado State defense problems as they allow an average of 204.7 rushing yards per game. Air Force has an abundance of backs that can break a long run, but I have been impressed with Kadin Remsberg and Timothy Jackson as they both have over 600 yards on the season. Colorado State has been good on the offensive side of the ball this season, but they are playing a backup QB and Air Force has been solid in forcing turnovers. Air Force will control the clock with their ground game, and they will capitalize on scores each drive. Final Score Prediction, Air Force Falcons win and cover ATS 31-14.
