UTSA vs Army Prediction
The current betting odds have UTSA listed as a 2 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UTSA just had a very close loss against a state rival team, Houston, losing that game by 2 points in OT but they looked just as good as they were last season in that game and they will be looking to bounce back here with a win. Army fell short to CCU in their game last week but now they come back home where they have had a much better record over the last few seasons. Army is not an underdog often at home but the few times they have been, they have not performed well in those games and even failed to cover the spread most of the time. Army never really has much of a passing game every year and that held true in their last game as they barely threw the ball. Normally, they have a really good run game that can tire out defenses and win them games but their run game was not that good in their last game against CCU as most of the burden fell on Tyrell Robinson but other than him, they did not really get anything going with anyone else. UTSA is a dangerous team that can run the ball and has a good passing game. They will still have a sour taste left in their mouth from their game against Houston and they will be looking to take out that anger on Army here. The best way to place a bet here is on UTSA to cover the spread here.
