The current betting odds have Army listed as a 23 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Army has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-0 record overall and their 6-0 conference record. This is their first season being in the AAC and they are already making waves as they lead the conference with the best record. Their offense has been rolling over teams and their defense has also looked really good. Meanwhile, Air Force has looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-6 record overall and their 0-4 conference record. They are at the bottom of their conference and they have been the worst of the military schools this season. Their offense hasn't looked good and they aren't going to be able to keep up with the way this Army team can put up points. Their defense hasn't really been keeping opponents off the board either so this is a game Army can run away with. Army is looking to stay undefeated as long as possible, especially with the new playoff format as they do have a real chance of getting to the CFP now. Air Force will bring their best effort for this rivalry game, but it won't be enough to slow down this Army team. The best way to place a bet here is on Army to cover the spread in this game. 

Air Force Army Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, November 2, 2024 (12:00 pm ET start time) is Army 45 Air Force 13.

“It’s an absolute testament to this offense that (coordinator) Cody Worley runs, the offensive line, the guys that block on the outside. Two or three touchdowns today were walk-ins. I’m extremely lucky to be in the position I am.” - Bryson Daily after their win against ECU in their last game.
