Army and SMU
Two programs that have worked their way into a bowl game this year. June Jones has worked his magic yet again, this time at SMU. Army is in a bowl game for the first time since 1996 with their triple-option attack.
SMU is playing this game at their home stadium and are favored by 7. I like SMU in this matchup.
SMU likes to put the ball in the air, and I'm not sure Army can stop them.
Some trends favoring SMU: the Black Knights are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games in December and SMU is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games.
This could be a good game, but I see SMU pulling away at the end to cover.
