SMU is preferred by a touchdown in ncaa football wagering in Thursday’s Armed Forces Bowl.



It is actually a home game for SMU which could make them the choice for gamblers who bet on ncaa football at the online sports book.

SMU -7, total 52
The Mustangs are a strong favorite in this game although they ended the year at 7-6. Army is 6-6 and features a pretty strong running attack that may grant SMU trouble. Army has not won a postseason match since 1985 but they look to be cut-throat in this match. Typically this bowl match could have been played at TCU’s stadium in Fort Worth but that stadium is going through renovations so the match was moved to SMU’s home field just for this year.

Run versus Pass
Army victories games by running the ball as they were 10th in the nation in rushing offense. Fullback Jared Hassin rushed for 931 yards and nine tds this year. Qb Trent Steelman rushed for 694 yards and 11 tds. He doesn’t throw pretty often as he went under 100 yards passing in 8 of 12 games. SMU throws the ball with Kyle Padron. He threw for 3,526 passing yards and 29 tds this year. Receiver Aldrick Robinson caught 13 TDs this year. SMU can also run the ball as Zach Line had 1,391 yards.

Bowl Facts
The Armed Forces Bowl is an annual postseason ncaa football bowl match that was inaugurated in 2003 as the Fort Worth Bowl under corporate sponsorship of PlainsCapital Bank. In 2005, the match was lacking corporate sponsorship. In 2006, Fort Worth based Bell Helicopter Textron took the reins sponsorship, and thus it became formally referred to as the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl.

This is the first time ever that all 3 service academies will be playing in bowl games. SMU is 5-6-1 all-time in bowl games. They defeated Hawaii a year ago 45-10 in the Hawaii Bowl. Since this isn’t a neutral website match we can look at home and away figures with regards to ncaa football wagering. Army was 4-2 ATS on the road this year. SMU was just 3-3 ATS at home this year. The Mustangs have not played at home since mid-November. SMU was just 2-3 against the spread at home this year as a favorite. Army could not have the defense to slow down the Mustangs in this game and gamblers who bet on ncaa football are looking to lay the points with SMU since they’re at home.
