SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White heads into the final full weekend of the college football regular-season with a 9-3 record for her best bets.

After looking at Saturday’s slate, Alex sees an opportunity to cash winning tickets on an American Athletic Conference matchup in West Point when the UTSA Roadrunners (6-5, 4-3 AAC) visit the first-place Army Black Knights (9-1, 7-0). Kickoff from Michie Stadium is set for noon ET and will be televised on the CBS Sports Network.

As of Friday at 10:53 p.m. ET, BetMGM Sportsbook lists Army as a 6.5-point favorite — the Black Knights were -7 earlier in the day.

UTSA enters on a 3-game win streak, covering the spread in each victory. The Roadrunners are 4-1 straight up and 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 5 games. For the season, they’re 5-6 ATS.

Army, which already clinched a spot in the AAC Championship Game, suffered its first loss of the season a week ago — 49-14 at No. 5 Notre Dame. The Black Knights are 7-3 ATS this season. (Rankings: US LBM Coaches Poll)

Army won last season’s meeting 37-29 in San Antonio as a 7-point underdog.
