00:00We start with the Black Knights today, Army at home on the shores of the Hudson River up in upstate New York.

00:12Joe, inside Mitchie Stadium, one of the great venues in college football, especially on this gorgeous fall Saturday.

00:18Army a three-score favorite at home against East Carolina.

00:22We talked about BYU, unbeaten entering last night, still is straight up 7-0.

00:28They were one of two teams entering Week 8 alongside Army.

00:32Also unbeaten against the number, a perfect 6-0 ATS.

00:37BYU no longer. Will Army be 7-0 both straight up and against the number after today?

00:43I think they win, but I don't think they cover the 16-1.

00:46I'd be inclined to take East Carolina.

00:48The reason why I say that is they do have a pretty good passing attack, averaging 260 total yards per game.

00:55Army only giving up 189 yards through against opposing offenses and quarterbacks.

01:01Very good in run support. They're only giving up basically 90 rushing yards per game.

01:05They've been very good to Army. 56% third down offense.

01:09In recent years, they've been under 50.

01:11That's why you've seen a little bit inconsistency, but the way you beat the triple option is over the top.

01:17It's like a track meet. You jump up early, you take them out of the game plan.

01:20I think East Carolina is more built to do that than in the next game, Charlotte over Navy.

01:25So give me the points. Would ECU, even though they're on the road, Kev?

01:29So Bryson Daly is having a ridiculous season.

01:3320 total touchdowns.

01:35He probably should be shorter than 150-1 to win the Heisman Trophy, even if he's not going to win the Heisman Trophy.

01:42But that is a lot of touchdowns for an unbeaten football team.

01:47I, though, am seeing what I think is one of the oddest spots I've ever seen.

01:52Under 98.5 passing yards, Bryson Daly.

01:56I've never seen a cell high spot on a triple option quarterback, but here we have it.

02:01Over this in three of four, but we're still three and three on this total so far this season.

02:07What's happening is he's averaging an additional 5.4 yards per pass attempt

02:11because it's an additional 9 yards per reception so far this season.

02:16He's still only averaging 80 yards per game.

02:19He's the quarterback for Army.

02:21He's not thrown it 10 times in a single game this season.

02:24So I have to play under 98.5 passing yards on Bryson Daly.

02:29Fading the troops. Don't like to see that.

02:32130.5, the rushing yards prop for Daly, who has won for at least 110 in all five games against FBS competition this year.

02:4112 rushing scores as Kev alluded to.

02:44It should be no surprise to know the cadets are the best rushing offense in the country, averaging 370 yards per game.

02:51And Army offensively this year, sensational.

02:55They have been a favorite of two plus points in five of six games this year.

03:00Over in the first four, the only under last week against UAB.

03:04It's because the Blazers barely scored.

03:07Army still put up 44 points.

03:10Second best scoring defense in the country.

03:12That is Army along with Ole Miss, the only two allowing less than double digits this year.
