Best Bets for UTSA vs. Army
Full-Game Side Bet
Insiders Status:
The Black Knights have won nine of their last 10 games while the Roadrunners have won four straight games. Army is the better offensive team, and they have the advantage here because they have the best ground game in the country, averaging more than 300 yards per game. Even though the Roadrunners have played well against the run, they’re not as good as their numbers indicate because opponents mostly throw the ball against them since they have one of the worst pass defenses in the country. Even though opponents know what the Black Knights will do against them, they have been unable to stop them from running against them, so expect the Roadrunners to struggle defensively in this game.
The Roadrunners won’t be as successful offensively because they like to throw the ball and but the Black Knights are very good at defending the pass, holding opponents to 200 yards per game, so expect them to keep UTSA’s offense in check. Go with Army to cover the spread.
