California (6-6) vs. Air Force (9-3)

Dec. 31, 12:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Cal will win if... Longshore plays like he did in September. With Jackson, Lavelle Hawkins, Robert Jordan, and Craig Stevens running patterns, the Bears should exploit the Air Force secondary, but only if Longshore does an about-face from a horrible second half of the year. The junior threw 11 interceptions over the final six games, a trend that has to change if Cal is going to capitalize on its biggest advantage over the Falcons. If the Bears are able to pick up the Air Force blitzes, Longshore has no excuses not to make a number of big plays downfield.

Air Force will win if... either Hall, Carney, or Jim Ollis rushes for 100 yards. When that has happened this year, the Falcons are a spiffy 9-0. Air Force will want to play keep-away with the Cal offense, controlling the tempo with at least 60 carries, while wearing out a gassed defense. Although the Bears may have the better athletes, the Falcons are humming on offense, churning out almost 1,300 yards on the ground in three November games. If they’re ripping off big chunks of yards on the ground in the first half, Cal won’t have the fortitude or desire to battle back in the second half.

What will happen: While Cal has little desire to play in the Armed Forces Bowl, Air Force is pumped at the opportunity to cap a terrific season in Fort Worth. The divergent emotions will be evident throughout the game, with the Falcons outhustling the Bears on every play. Cal will have no answers for Hall or the Air Force ground game, finishing below .500 for the first time since 2001, and raising concerns that Tedford has hit a wall with the program.

Line: Cal -4 ... CFN Prediction:Air Force 30 ... Cal 23

This, IMHO, might be the 2nd easiest bet ever; the easiest being the So Cal/Illinois game.

[Gamecockfanatic4]

Air Force should win this one

14-0 Air Force up early in the 2nd quarter

Now 42-30 Cal. AF was up 21-0 early in the game, but has been out-scored 42-9 since......

[Gamecockfanatic4]

AF hasn't been the same since their QB left with a knee injury

[Gamecockfanatic4]
