Spread: Air Force -18.5 | Will the Falcons cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 1src projections here
Nobody has been able to crack the code against Air Force through eight games, and now comes an opportunity for the Falcons to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy outright for a second straight year as Army rolls into town. The Black Knights had won four of five in the long-running series between the service academies before Air Force got back in the win column last season, signaling the start of a 13-game winning streak for the Falcons. Air Force continues to dominate on the ground, boasting the nation’s top rushing offense and a rushing defense that only trails UCLA. That could be problematic for run-heavy Army team, which has lost five straight and been held scoreless in two of its last three outings.
Louisiana Tech at Liberty
Date: Saturday, Nov. 4 | Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Williams Stadium — Lynchburg, Virginia

Spread: Liberty -16.5 | Will the Flames cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 1src projections here
Liberty keeps rolling and may continued to do so on Saturday as the Flames host a Louisiana Tech team that has lost three straight and four of its last five. A Liberty offense that has averaged 38.3 points over its past three games meets a Bulldogs defense that has allowed an average 31 points per game in that same span, giving the Flames another chance to fire on all cylinders. Liberty’s average of 28src.6 rushing yards per game ranks second nationally behind Air Force, and Louisiana Tech has struggled to stop the run. The Bulldogs are averaging 2src2.6 rushing yards allowed, a mark that ranks next-to-last in Conference USA and No. 126 overall in the FBS.
Boise State at Fresno State
Date: Saturday, Nov. 4 | Time: 1src p.m.
Location: Bulldog Stadium — Fresno, California
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]

Spread: Fresno State -3 | Will the Bulldogs cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 1src projections here
This matchup could be pivotal in determining who makes the Mountain West Championship Game. Fresno State and Boise State both sit tied for second place in the conference standings, along with UNLV, at 3-1 in conference play. The Bulldogs are a perfect 4-src at home this season as they welcome a Broncos squad that is just 1-3 in away games. Fresno State won last year’s meeting in Boise and now looks to win consecutive meetings for the first time since starting 3-src in the series from 1977-96. While Vegas expects this game to be close, Boise State must overcome a Bulldogs team that ranks in the top of three of the conference in scoring on both sides of the ball. Fresno State is scoring 33.6 points and holding opponents to 2src.6 points on average, marks that have been integral to a 7-1 start.
