Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl
South Alabama (6-6, 2-6 Sun Belt) vs. Air Force (9-3, 5-3 MWC)
Dec. 30 – 5:30 p.m., Campus Insiders
Arizona Stadium, Tucson, Ariz.

Average Line: Air Force, -13

There’s a reason this bowl isn’t being broadcast on standard terrestrial television. All due respect to Air Force, this game simply isn’t worth the bandwidth.

The Falcons weren’t quite as powerful offensively as some teams in the past, but were still putting up 34.3 points per game and 322.75 rushing yards per game, third only behind New Mexico and Army. They’ll still be able to find plenty of ways to score against the Jaguars who gave up over 212 rushing yards per game in the Sun Belt.

This one will be (mercifully) over quickly.

Prediction: Take Air Force to handily cover up to 14.5 points.

Next: Orange Bowl
