Game starts at 9:00 local time so I'll need to get to the book early. As of now, I'm going to lay $2200/$2000 on AF +3.5. Anyone have info, either for or against this play? Obviously since I'm making such a large play, I'm pretty set on AF, just want to make sure someone out there doesn't know something that isn't well known. Any other thoughts about this game is appreciated.

Houston wins this game by at least a TD!.... First game was played in terrible weather.. Houston came up short after a big come back... Cougs to much on offense here. ...

I like Houston as well. That weather gave a huge advantage to the run only Falcons.

I have Air Force. They play these types of teams well. Watch the Utah game that is what sold me.

You are right. When they played Utah that was a big deal. Tomorrow is a big deal. Those games they stinkered in were not as meaningful as what it was in Utah or what lies ahead. The Air Force Academy is a different breed. Football comes second, except when it really matters to them.(The players I mean) some games are just bigger than other to them. IMO.

i should have said he is prone to costly turnovers. 3 picks in loss to colorado state including one in end zone at end of game, 2 in loss to marshall that both led to td's, and one deep in own territory against rice that led to a td. while he didn't have a lot of picks and is clearly what makes their offense go, he had some that cost his team dearly. if air force wins a close game, don't be surprised if he has a costly turnover.

I think AF has a difficult time keeping this one close. Not a cloud in the sky today here in Fort Worth and almost no wind at the moment.

Houston won against East Carolina and in November routed Tulsa 70-30. Tulsa was #24 at the time. Houston QB leads Division 1-A with 397 passing yds per game. The previous meeting was a fluke due to the hurricane and Houston still almost won.

AF is very one dimensional (#117 out of 119) in passing:shocked:. They did run all over Colorado State but CS has never had a great rushing defense. Houston jumps out to an early lead and puts 8 in the box on D and it could be a long day for AF.

And my possibly useless fact of the day: This is the 17th time teams that played in a regular season game have a bowl game rematch. Only 5 teams in the previous 16 swept both games.

Good luck!!
