The Falcons are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. The Cowboys are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games, however, are just 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Air Force has lost 10 of their last 12 games and have had no answers on the offensive end this season as the Falcons come into this game ranked just 346^th in scoring offense and although the defense has kept opponents off the scoreboard, the Falcons rank just 314^th in defensive FG%. Wyoming suffered a tough loss at New Mexico, however, this is a team that has been solid on both ends of the court, ranking 71^st in scoring offense & 83^rd in scoring defense, and as the Cowboys are a perfect 11-0 at home, I think they bounce back in this and cover this large home spread. Good Luck!
