These are two fairly poor teams, but at least Air Force is showing signs of life. The last team the Falcons played at UNLV, it won by 27 points. While Air Force hasn’t won a road game yet this season, UNLV has lost its last two contests by a combined 67 points. I’m going to bet on that continuing here.
