Army vs UTSA Prediction 11-30-24 College Football Picks

The UTSA Roadrunners and the Army Black Knights meet Saturday in college Football action from Michie Stadium. Here’s an Army vs UTSA prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Army vs UTSA pick.

UTSA Roadrunners Betting Preview

The Roadrunners got off to a rough 2-4 start this year with losses to Texas State, Texas, East Carolina and Rice. UTSA would go 3-1 over the next four though, taking out Florida Atlantic, Memphis and North Texas along the way.

Back on Friday versus Temple, UTSA scored double-digit points in the final three quarters along the way to a 51-27 win. Owen McCown threw for 220 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Leading rusher Robert Henry added 16 carries for 178 yards and two scores.

Army Black Knights Betting Preview

Over on the Army side, they’ve been strong this year. The Knights beat Lehigh, FAU, Rice, Temple, Tulsa, UAB, East Carolina, Air Force and North Texas over their first nine outing of the season. Army earned a No. 18 national ranking in the meantime.

Matched up against Notre Dame on Saturday, the Knights duffed their much-anticipated showdown. Army gave up 14 points in each of the first three quarters during a 49-14 blowout. Bryson Daily threw for 26 yards and also led the rush on 39 carries for 139 yards and two scores.

Army vs UTSA Prediction

I’ll go with Army. The Knights have to shake off that rough loss to Notre Dame over the weekend, though. Army was muffled on 233 total yards (26 passing), 15 first downs and 3.5 yards per play in that one. Conversely the Knights gave up 462 yards (273 passing) and 9.8 yards per play on the other side. That’s fewer than 21 points in three straight Games for Army, so they’ve got to right the proverbial ship.

As for UTSA, they didn’t have much issue with Temple on 529 yards (220 passing) and 8.0 yards per play. The Roadrunners had three turnovers, nine penalties and 3-of-13 on third downs though, so it wasn’t the greatest win in the world. UTSA has 38 or more points in five straight Games themselves, so Army certainly has their work cut out for them on both sides of the ball. I like the Knights to rally and pull off the cover, though.
