Army rode its ground attack to a 31-27 win over Eastern Michigan last week. The Black Knights racked up a ridiculous 309 rushing yards in their season-opening victory.
Hawaii also impressed in their season debut, scoring 36 points against heavily-favored USC. Although they ultimately lost by 13 points, the Warriorstopped the Trojans in total yards, while gaining a staggering 459 yard through the air.
Army opened as a 1.5-point home favorite at Pinnacle and is currently receiving only 23% of spread bets and 13% of moneyline wagers. Hawaii played well in a high profile game against USC last week, so it's not surprising to see the public all over the Warriors. Despite being a massive public underdog, Army has actually increased to a 3-point favorite at Pinnacle. This is a classic case of reverse-line movement, indicating sharp money is coming down on Army. Sports Insights' Betting Systems concur, triggering three positive Smart Money Plays and a Steam Move at Olympic (+3.2 units) on the Black Knights.
