Betting Trends for vs
The Army Black Knights don’t lose often as they are one of the most disciplined teams in the nation, and I expect them to rebound here on the road. The Black Knights were playing from behind for most of the game against the Tulane Green Wave which put them out of their traditional triple-option run offense. The Black Knights have a very good QB under center in Kelvin Hopkins Jr. and he has shown the ability to run the ball effectively this season. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have been solid on the defensive side of the ball this season, but they haven’t seen an offense of Army’s caliber and scheme which will cause problems. Final Score Prediction, Army Black Knights win and cover ATS 28-17.
