The longtime Air Force head coach has led the Falcons to four bowl appearances since 2019, tallying three 10-win seasons during that span.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calhoun\u2019s Falcons are bowl-game beasts, winning five bowl games in a row, including a 31-21 win over red-hot James Madison last December. Prior to a series of injuries to key players, Air Force was 8-0 in 2023 and poised to earn the <a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/fbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Group of Five<\/a>\u2019s berth in a New Year\u2019s Six bowl game. The Falcons, when healthy, were undoubtedly one of the top G5 teams in the country last fall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering 2024, it\u2019s hard to bet against Calhoun leading the Falcons to a strong season, but they lost a ton of production. Quarterback Zac Larrier is gone, as are all of last year\u2019s offensive line starters. Defensively, replacing linebacker Bo Richter and safety Trey Taylor is a significant undertaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calhoun\u2019s track record speaks for itself, but Air Force has its work cut out for it in 2024 given the roster changes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betmgm.com\/en\/mobileportal\/register?utm_source=herosports&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"ATL_MS_1549850_Paid Display-Leaderboard-728x90 (1)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 728w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1-300x37.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-air-force-football-s-mountain-west-title-odds\">Air Force Football\u2019s Mountain West Title Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Air Force\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betmgm.com\/en\/sports\/football-11\/betting\/usa-9\/college-football-211?utm_source=herosports&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=college_football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">odds to win the Mountain West<\/a> are +1200, via BetMGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-air-force-football-s-betting-odds-amp-over-under-win-total\">Air Force Football\u2019s Betting Odds &amp;
