Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl
Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Tx.
Air Force vs. Houston
Date: Dec. 31
Time: noon
TV: ESPN
Line: Houston -4.5
About Air Force (7-5): Air Force is the same team it is every year. Really, you could just pop a tape in from 1998 and it'd be the same thing. Dudes running wishbone, give good teams trouble for a couple quarters then don't have the horses. Repeat.
Intangibles:
Fly jets: +2
Colorado Springs: +3
Not Army or Navy: -4
About Houston (10-3): Houston scores a crapload of points in the Texas Tech mold. Also in the TExas Tech mold, they take terrible losses. Like losing to UTEP 58-41. Seriously. Of course they also scored 73 points against Rice. Criminy. it's like watching a basketball team.
Intangibles:
Phi Slamma Jamma: +3
Andre Ware Heisman: -3
John Jenkins era: -4
Impact player: Houston quarterback Case Keenum will probably throw for 600 yards and eight TDs, but they could still easily lose.
Bowl slogan: "Helping support the vast military industrial complex that secretly runs the world since 2003."
Little known fact: Houston finished second in Conference USA. Which means diddly squat. Or maybe everyone knew that.
Watchability (1-5): 2
The pick: Houston 64, Air Force 42
