The La Salle Explorers are the better team on paper, but they haven’t looked great through their first three games, and they have some questionable at best performances. The Army Black Knights are off to a strong start offensively, and they had a decent showing against Duke last week. La Salle should be favored, but this is a game Army could win. Give me the points.
