Air Force vs. Houston College Bowl Picks – 2009 Armed Forces Bowl: The New Years Eve Bowl lineup gets going early with a Noon ET kickoff of the Armed Forces Bowl from Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth Texas between Air Force (7-5) of the Mountain West Conference and Houston (10-3) of Conference-USA.
This might be a rematch of last year's Armed Forces Bowl, but there still are some interesting story lines. The biggest is Houston's pass offense against Air Force's pass defense. The potential exists for a lot of points, which would be a great way to kick off a day that has five bowl games.
Houston leads the nation in passing at 450 yards per game. But Air Force counters with the nations top-ranked pass defense (149.7 ypg).
The turnover battle will be key to winning this game. Both Houston and Air Force have been among the nation's best in turnover margin. The Falcons rank third nationally while the Cougars are 15th.
College Bowl Picks: We like Houston by a touchdown.
