Army Black Knights vs UTSA Roadrunners Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/29/25

While there are plenty of games that should captivate college football fans across the nation on Saturday, one of the more under the radar games that still has some value comes in the AAC, where the Army Black Knights will visit the UTSA Roadrunners in a game that features a pair of teams trending in different directions at the moment. Last week, I was all over UTSA in what was one of the best spots of the Week 13 slate, and I’m going back to the well with the Roadrunners to win at home once again. 

On one side, Army is in the midst of a poor run of form against the spread, as the Black Knights have failed to cover in back-to-back games and are just 4-6 against the number for the season. Furthermore, Jeff Monken’s team is coming off a brutal loss to Tulsa at home, in which Army blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and lost on a field goal in the final seconds. Now, they’ll have to embark on a brutal road trip to take on a UTSA team that has yet to lose a game at home since joining the American Conference. Last year’s Army team was one of the best in recent program history, and even that Black Knights team had trouble putting UTSA away in West Point. This time around, I expect the Roadrunners to exact a bit of revenge in what should be another raucous atmosphere at the Alamodome.  

UTSA has been rounding into form in recent weeks, and that certainly carried over into a beatdown of what was a red-hot East Carolina team a week ago. Historically, Jeff Traylor has been an excellent head coach against the spread in November and his team has clearly turned a corner offensively, with Owen McCown and company putting up an average of nearly 45 points per game over their last 3 games at the Alamodome. Where UTSA has gotten into trouble has been against excellent offenses on the road, but that’s not the situation that they’ll see in this one. In fact, while the Roadrunners pass defense is still an issue, they won’t face much of a passing attack from an Army team that is very one dimensional with its heavy rush rate this season. With that in mind, the UTSA rush defense (21st in quality drive rate allowed) should keep the Black Knights behind the chains throughout this contest. Ultimately, given the fact that the Roadrunners are trending up while Army has struggled away from home this season, there’s some inherent value on the home favorite at the current number on Saturday.
