Armed Forces Bowl Betting Preview
Dukes Dominant on Offense
The James Madison Dukes came out of nowhere to be near the top of the NCAAF standings this season, but it’s because of that offense. James Madison is averaging 35.2 points per game this season, and they can put up points in a hurry.
Quarterback Jordan McCloud threw for 3,400 yards and 32 touchdowns this season, and he isn’t afraid to throw the ball deep. McCloud also has the ability to extend plays with his legs, but this team needs to run the football better.
Getting stops on defense has been a challenge at times for James Madison, and that could create some issues in this matchup. The Dukes simply need to find a way to stop the run in this one and that will create some issues for Air Force.
James Madison is favored for a reason, but now they have to step up and prove it.
Falcons Looking to Run
The Air Force Falcons face a very tough NCAAF schedule every year, and this team faced a bunch of good teams down the stretch. NCAAF injuries started to pile up on offense for this team as well, and that created a number of big issues.
Despite having a very weak passing attack, the Air Force Falcons still averaged 27.8 points per game this season. Air Force did a great job of running over opponents all season long as they average 275 rushing yards per game.
There are five different players with at least 431 rushing yards this season, and that has made this team tough to know where the ball is coming from. Not only does the rushing attack seem to wear down opponents, but this team has been great on defense because of it.
The Falcons are going to be facing a James Madison team that can score points in a hurry, and that defense will be tested in many ways.
