Air Force comes into the game 2-1 coming off of a loss at Boise State, grinding with the Broncos for four quarters and just falling short. Air Force has started off as hot as anyone in the country with a win against Colorado on the road where they upset the Buffalos in overtime, stunning the rest of the country. After the win, Air Force received votes into the top 25 and was looked at as one of the best teams in the Mountain West. Could it be the Falcons turn to get upset at home?

San Jose State is coming off of a wild win at Arkansas in Fayetteville where they shocked the SEC giant in their home stadium. SJSU came away with a 31-24 win and rejuvenated the Spartan fan base getting their first road win against an FBS opponent since 2014.

After the win against an SEC opponent, the Spartans have every reason to believe that the program is looking at some sort of turn around and have a chance again against Air Force to prove it.

SJSU quarterback Josh Love has thrown for over 800 yards and only thrown one interception in the first three games. Leading the Spartans to their first FBS road win in quite some time, the senior has to feel good where the team is at going into Air Force.

We should see a really good game, the Falcons are still favored by 19.5 points at home, but we may see some magic again from the Spartans two weeks in a row.
