The USC Upstate Spartans aren’t scaring anybody and are probably at a talent disadvantage here. However, I’m not laying chalk with the Air Force Falcons, who have yet to show life offensively and have a loss to Texas A&M-Commerce. Air Force may be the better team here, but that’s not saying much. Give me the Spartans and the points.
