The Aggies are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 in September and 2-5 ATS in their last seven after an ATS win. Utah State is 2-6 ATS in their last eight after a straight-up win as well.
Meanwhile, the Falcons are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 conference games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven in September. The under is 6-1 in Air Force’s last seven at home as well.
PICK: I like Utah State in this one. Granted, Air Force looked really good on defense in week two, holding Navy to just 68 total yards, 1.5 yards per play, six first downs and eight punts. The Midshipmen were just 1-of-14 on third and fourth down efficiency as well. Air Force wasn’t exactly explosive themselves though, with just 225 total yards.
As for Utah State they were dominant once again with 621 yards total and 8.3 yards per play. I like the Aggies to keep rolling in this one and tame that Falcons defense.
