    Baylor -3.5 ???? Armed Services Bowl

    Big line movement from -6 to where it now sits at -3.5. Its no mystery as to what Air Force will do on offense tonight , run right , run left and run up the middle. Looking at the schedule of both , and the results , shows that Baylor competed against a much tougher foe overall. Coach Aranda has a great defensive track record from his days at LSU and should be able to figure out how to stuff 8 in the box to stiffen Air Force's run attack ? Seems like Baylor should be the obvious choice here to me , but i must be missing something.

    Thoughts appreciated

    It said that early rain/snow but clear and -8c at game time. Winds are 31km as well at game time , so a passng game is questionable. It shouldnt change Air Force game plan , but alter Baylor attack for sure

    I'd go with Baylor if the weather is cold. The Airforce can't handle cold. The Marines are better suited to cope with cold weather.

    The Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs. I'm sure they will be fine handling cold air. These are students, not airmen who have been pampered.

    It's all good. Just asking. I liked Air Force +3.5... But I decided to stay away from the game. Changed my mind to Jacksonville +2.5 Good Luck... hope you win with whatever you select today.

    Marines don't have a service academy, they're part of the Naval Academy.

    Service academies are an auto play in the bowls. Play all of them for the next 20 yrs and you will be + money

    I had the opportunity to watch their game against TCU back in mid Nov. They played outstanding on both sides of the ball that day. Lost it late 29 - 28 , but that team , that day , would kick the sh*t out of this Air Force team imo. Plenty of factors with location , weather , and missing D linemen , but surely they are still a step up in class for AF ?

    Should be a Quasi home game Fort Worth isnt to far from Waco. Should be able to push them around.
    We did lose to West Virginia as well and byu ( not good losses in hindsight but they were on the road.

    It’s the Lockheed-Martin Armed Forces Bowl - by rule, you gotta go Air Force, right?!?! I mean, if it was the “Tito’s Vodka Drunk Texas College Slut” Bowl - then I would take Baylor…..

    He is bro. Not sure what's up with you two.
    Franz is cool....
    Franz made fun of me for betting de bryune would get a yellow card a couple Years ago.....bet won...he got a bit defensive about it all.
    Anyways..
    He constantly posts bets before the whistle, that's all I want from posters....

    I have no problem with him. He does his thing. I wished him the best in his recovery. I still feel that way.

    He just doesn't like to discuss betting concepts
    No biggie

    Service academy teams are coached very well, they are coached to play hard from opening kick to final whistle regardless of score.
