Prediction: U-N-L-V +13.5 -110
Explanation: 3 Units
This could hardly be a worse spot for the Falcons, or a better one for the Rebels. Air Force puts an inordinate amount of emphasis on the Commander in Chief trophy that goes to the winner of the games between the three service academies. Head coach Fisher DeBerry wants that trophy more than a Mountain West Conference championship, more than a bowl win, more than anything. They had won the trophy 19 times in a 21 year span, but lost by three points to Navy in each of the last two seasons. This year, the Falcons pulled out all the stops against Navy last week, holding nothing back. They led by double digits in the fourth quarter, but blew the lead and the game in the final stanza, another three point loss. That extended Air Force’s losing streak to four games.
Quarterback John Carney: “It hurts. The goals of our program are gone. I guess it's still possible to go to a bowl game, but…..” That quote just about sums it up for Air Force this week – we expect a very flat effort.
UNLV has the superior athletes – they’ve held Air Force below their season average in four of the last five meetings, capable of slowing down the Falcons option attack. And UNLV is on a definitive uptick right now after pulling of the major upset as ten point underdogs to San Diego St last week. The Rebels played their best defensive game of the season in that upset, and incredibly, true rushing numbers show UNLV as the #3 rush defense in the entire country right now, halfway through the season.
The Rebels have the offense to jet through the holes in the Air Force zone defense. QB Jarrod Jackson had “the best week of practice since he was named the starter” according to head coach Mike Sanford in his weekly radio address on Thursday night. UNLV has a major matchup problem for the smaller, slower Falcons secondary with 6’8” tight end Greg Estandia finally living up to his NFL prospect billing in his senior season. And the Rebels have the type of kicker that we want in Sergio Aguayo, who nailed a 52 yarder to tie the game in the fourth quarter last week, and another 52 yarder to win it in the closing seconds. Air Force kicker Scott Eberle has only one make from 40+ all season, and that could make a real difference ATS in this one – if the Rebels don’t win the game outright, that is!
