Below are the current over/underbetting lines for each Mountain West team via the good people at FanDuel. Look at each team’s over/under for wins, with some thoughts on each. Feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments section.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Case For: Head Coach Troy Calhoun has never had three consecutive losing seasons in his 20 years with the Falcons. That is likely why the program’s win total jumped from 5.5 to 6.5 from 2025 to this upcoming season, even though they finished last year with a record of 4-8.Your typical Air Force-style offense of running opponents over will be back in full display once again, coming off a season where they were third in the nation in rushing.This increase in win total may also come from the new look for the MWC, in which a lot of Air Force’s losses from 2025 came from teams no longer in town, potentially opening the door for better success in 2026.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Case Against: Defense, Defense, Defense.Air Force allowed more than 30 points in five of their eight losses last year, including a five-game losing skid in which four games included the Falcons giving up 44 points or more.This is now a more experienced group heading into 2026, but that is about it in terms of positive signs for this defensive unit.

Eight wins are definitely on the table.Prediction: OverCase For: The Wolfpack haven’t found their stride since the turn of the decade, including finishing 3-9 in 2025.That being said, there are some s
