No Meyer, no beating the spread:The Utes are 0-3 ATS since losing head coach Urban Meyer to Florida and also had their 18-game SU winning streak snapped with a 23-20 overtime loss at TCU last Thursday. Meyer's teams have gone 22-5 ATS the last 2+ seasons, including Utah's stellar 10-2 mark last year as the team went 12-0 SU.
Air Force should keep it on the ground: Utah struggled mightily in attempting to stop the run last week, surrendering 228 rushing yards to the Horned Frogs. The last time the Utes lost, they also couldn't stop the run, giving up 407 yards in a 37-25 loss to New Mexico a little less than two years ago. That plays right into the hands of Air Force, one of the traditionally strongest running teams in the country. This season has been no different for the Falcons, who rank 12th in the nation with 258.7 yards per game on the ground and are also tops in rushes per game with nearly 61.
Falcons fly high on the road: Air Force is 8-1 ATS in road openers and 6-2 ATS vs. Utes in their last eight meetings. In fact, the road team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
High-scoring affair expected: The two teams have combined to average 64 points per game in the last 19 meetings since 1983. The total has gone OVER in four straight meetings, with the winner of the last two matchups between the teams scoring no less than 45 points and the loser scoring at least 35.
