    Army at SMU

    CFB: 1-1 -0.048

    Game: Army at SMU (Thursday 12/30 18:00 CET)
    This one is all about Army offensive play calling, which will lead this one to a typical lowscoring game, with rushing attempts, a lot of 2nd/3rd downs and generally running the clock out. They'll play an option all the time because it's their main weapon and no matter if the lead or trail, they'll be trying to rush mainly - let's see how Air Force game looked like. Falcons were horrible, couldn't score most of the time and they still didn't try passing much and however they lucky won 14-7, it was a very boring game. This one won't be the same because SMU has got a passing offense but quarterback Padron is quite turnover prone and solid Army defense should be stopping him for a while and I don't expect much of a big plays in here. I'm actually surprised that game total is set on 52 points, especially knowing the fact that both military teams didn't combine 50 points in bowl games this season. Let's also remember the fact that SMU, which is theoretically a factor for an OVER in here, is just 6-7 O/U for the season and played a 7-17 game in last week of regular season. UNDER is the play, let's just hope that SMU rushing defense will be tough.
    Pick: 1 unit on Game Total UNDER 52 points @ 1.926

    Nice write up!~!~ I agree that Army may play the clock game and SMU will turn it once or twice. Going with UNDER as well. Good Luck on your wagers today!!!!

    16-0 at the halftime, it's good that Army leads because they should know how to control the clock.

    And there's a win, no sweat this time. Everything was as predicted: Padron with few turnovers and Army running out the clock whole game. WIN.

    16-14
