They are 6-0 in their home games, 4-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Army listed as a 4 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Army has looked great in their games this season with their 10-1 record overall and their 8-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the AAC and making the Conference Championship in their first season. They have looked great in their home games too with their 6-0 home record, and their only loss this season was against Notre Dame who is ranked as one of the best teams in the land. Meanwhile, Tulane has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-3 record overall and their 7-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the AAC. They have looked great in Sumrall's first season as head coach, but they haven't been the best team in the conference and are coming off a loss in their last one. They had already qualified for this game so losing their regular season finale wasn't a huge deal, but it was still a game they were trying to win and lost at home to Memphis by double digits as a double digit favorite. Army is a difficult team to defend with the triple option. Tulane didn't have a lot of trouble defending Navy earlier this season, but Army has been the much better team all season and they aren't going to get shut out here like Navy did. Army has been rolling a lot of teams this season with their good offense, but their defense has also been really tough to score on too. They are coming off a win in their last one too so they have the bad taste out of their mouths from that Notre Dame loss. Army is going to have the motivation to win the AAC Championship in their first season of being in the conference, they are live to win this game outright. The best way to place a bet here is on Army to cover the spread in this game.

“You can’t have the critical mistakes we had. There’s a lot of stuff we didn’t execute to our standard that we have for several games in a row now. It’s very frustrating. We’re all hurting, and it should hurt when you play a game like that.” - Jon Sumrall after his team’s loss against Memphis in their last game. 

“To be playing in the conference championship game in the first year is a little improbable. It’s not something you anticipate. I’m glad we joined the conference. It’s awesome to be in this position and have a chance to play for the conference championship. That’s not something you take for granted." - Jeff Monken after his team’s win against UTSA in their last game.
