Houston us a powerhouse offense and I am not so sure Air Force even scores 5 points......

How do you not take Houston in this spot???

Houston's defense is beyond terrible and AF lost by 3 to TCU and kept it within one score with utah I think that has something to do with the line with that said i'll probably be on the cougs dont think Air force can keep up.

af tends to keep games close, and with Houston bad run D should control the clock.

Houston has really come back down to earth after a strong start including 3 W's against BCS conference opponents. Since they have fell to Central Florida (who looked very unimpressive against an average Rutgers team) and East Carolina.

Air Force has played the top teams in the Mountain West very tough, and we ALL know how impressive the Mountain West has been early in the Bowl season.

Don't sleep on the Falcons here.

Well..BYU and Utah were victorious as dogs in earlier bowl games and Air Force is not going to go down easy. If it was pk I would take Houston but at +5 Air Force is the right play.

Except for BYU's 38 points on Air Force in the season finale, Air Force never gave up more then 23 in their first 11 games.

Not saying Air Force will stuff Houston into 3 TD's or less, but I see Air Force hanging around, and really pounding the rock, an area Houston has a very difficult time defending.

Look at last year, they played twice. Different personnel, but same coaching staffs & offensive-defensive beliefs. Line is about spot on if you ask me. AF won by 3 in regular season in '08 and lost by 6 in the bowl game.
