I'm both a nerd and I bet on Air Force last weekend so I looked this up.

You're on to something here. Not a whole lot of games that are 30+, so I took 27+ for the three service academies.

Since 2000, it's a 14-4 ATS record, including Air Force's cover as 30-point underdogs last weekend at Boise State. (It includes six Navy games, 11 Army games, and only the one Air Force game.)

I feel like these teams' styles might have something to do with this as well (running the ball a lot and eating up a lot of clock, making it harder for the opponent to put up a ton of points).

Full results below... Might be interesting to look even further back or expand it to 21 or more.
