Baylor vs. Air Force Prediction
Both of these teams love to run the ball. We all know about Air Force’s triple-option offense, and the Falcons run the ball more than any other team in college football. Baylor isn’t quite that extreme, but the Bears rank 32nd in the country for rush play percentage.
In other words, this could be a classic game of keep-away with both sides doing their best to sustain long drives. This is a dream scenario for the under, as the clock should keep running throughout most of this contest. Those ticks are an Under bettors best friend, and this sets up as a 20-17 type of game that could be even lower scoring if these sides stumble in the red-zone.
Both defenses are capable of getting stops too, as Air Force ranks 18th and Baylor is 41st in opponent yards per carry. Let’s take Under 43.5 for the Armed Forces Bowl!
