BEST LINE: SportsInteraction -110 

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl – Albertson’s Stadium, Boise, ID

Posted Friday at 2:00 PM EST.

Saturday December 20, 2014 – 5:45 PM EST. Some may scratch their eyes when they see that Air Force finished with a nine-win season and were one of two parties responsible for handing a very talented Colorado State club one of their two losses. However, the Falcons have shed their previously dubious shell and emerged as a potent and powerful rushing offense that averages 272.2 yards per game while scoring 30.9 points per game respectively. Furthermore, the Falcons were able to capture the Commander-in-Chief’s trophy and they also beat traditional power Boise State earlier in the season while they were at it too. Air Force is a household name and against Western Michigan, it may be assumed that the Falcons are going to run away with the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

However, Western Michigan has perhaps one of the best running backs in the country in Jarvion Franklin. The talented Broncos running back has rushed for 1,525 yards and he has reached the end zone 25 times. Franklin’s efforts led the Broncos to an opportunity for a MAC Championship Game appearance, fueled by a six-game winning streak en route to their collision with Northern Illinois. The Huskies would have their way with the Broncos, but this by no means indicates how good this Broncos team really is. In addition to Jarvion Franklin’s exploits, the Broncos sport a defense that only allowed 23.8 points per game and 142.7 rushing yards per game. In essence, Western Michigan matches up perfectly with Air Force and while the Falcons may be the more recognized program of the two, this Famous Idaho Potato Bowl will be the perfect stage for Jarvion Franklin and the Broncos to showcase their talent on both sides of the ball. We’re calling for a Western Michigan victory, carried on the back of their stud running back.
