I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that are piling up the losses, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with either side. The Air Force Falcons play their best ball at home, but that includes losing by an average of 4.3 points. As bad as the San Jose State Spartans are, Air Force is losing its last five games by an average of 15 points. Not a game I’d touch personally, but give me the points if forced to pick.
