Advantages Why Army can win

  1. Home field: Army play at home, worth about 3 points in college football.
  2. Travel: Air Force come about 2,622 km (1,629 miles) for this one.
  3. Offense, yards per play: Army rank 64th (6.2), Air Force 130th (5.1) of 138 FBS teams.
  4. Team matchup: where Army can take advantage. Their running game (3rd of 138) meets the Air Force run defense (109th), so look for them to lean on the run and control the clock.
  5. Star matchup: At quarterback, Cale Hellums (Army: 6.1 yards per attempt, 3 TD, 2 INT) has the edge on Howard Fisher IV (Air Force: 4.0, 0 TD, 0 INT; filling in for Liam Szarka, out for the season).
  6. The betting market agrees: Army 63% to win after removing the sportsbooks' margin.
  7. Simulation: Army win 6,350 of 10,000 simulated games.

Disadvantages Why Army may not

  1. Pass rush, sacks per dropback: Air Force rank 47th (7.1%), Army 113th (4.2%) of 138 FBS teams.
  2. Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations, Army lose by 14 or more.
  3. Weak spot: Army rank 136th of 138 in passing, yards per dropback (4.1).
  4. Weak spot: Army rank 135th of 138 in defense, yards per play allowed (7.5).
  5. Team matchup: where Air Force can push back. Their running game (59th of 138) meets the Army run defense (122nd), so look for them to lean on the run and control the clock.
  6. Star matchup: the key positions lean Army on paper, but quarterback Howard Fisher IV (36 yards, 0 TD; filling in for Liam Szarka, out for the season) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
  7. Upset odds: Air Force win 3,650 of 10,000 simulations (36%). A 64% pick still loses about 4 times in 10.
