Rice Still Looking For First FBS Win This Season

The Rice Owls are 1-2 going into this Saturday's Rice vs Army matchup from upstate New York. The Owls are 0-2 against FBS opponents, losing to Houston and Sam Houston, while their lone win of the season came against Texas Southern of the FCS. Here, Rice has a chance to win its first conference game of the season, but will need to find a way to break down an Army defense that has been incredible early in the season if they want to avoid an 0-3 start against FBS competition.

Army Looking For 2-0 Start In AAC

The Army Black Knights are 2-0 and they already have a win in conference play under their belt after beating Florida Atlantic in their last outing. Army has allowed a total of 14 points through their first two games, beating FAU 24-7 after beating FCS Lehigh 42-7 in their season opener. Army will look to continue to play dominant defense in this game and to move to 3-0 while improving to 2-0 in conference play, which would be a huge step in the right direction for them.

Rice vs Army Best Bet

Based on the way they have played so far this season, we have no choice but to lay the points with Army in Saturday's Rice vs Army matchup. The Black Knights have been elite on defense and their option offense should wear down Rice as this game moves along. Look for Army to win this game by at least a touchdown at home as they improve to 3-0 on the season.
