Saturday's slate of Week 10 NCAA college football games is filled with several great matchups, including this season's Service Academy Game. The annual Commander-in-Chief's Trophy is up for grabs as the Air Force Army take on the Army Black Knights in Arlington, Texas.

As usual, fans will be wagering on the game, including predicting its point total. The total was set at 37.5 heading into the matchup, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. However, a consistent betting trend is pointing to a specific outcome.

NCAAF Week 10 Service Academy Game

The under is 39-9-1 in 49 Service Academy Games since 2005. In other words, that's nearly 80% of the time.

The Commander-in-Chief's Trophy is awarded in a three-team competition between Army, Air Force and the Navy Midshipmen. Considering that the Falcons already defeated the Midshipmen in September, they can clinch the trophy with a victory over the Black Knights on Saturday.

Air Force has a record of 37-17-1 in 55 head-to-head matchups against Army. Their last meeting was another low-scoring affair on Dec. 19, 2020, ending in a 10-7 Black Knights victory.

As of Saturday morning, Air Force was FanDuel Sportsbook's 2.5-point favorite heading into the matchup with -118 odds to cover the spread.
