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.
