ATS PICK Middle Tennessee
The Hilltopper offense is amazing, with Bailey Zappe and the passing game ripping everyone to sheds.
The four losses were all to teams they were supposed to lose to, but the four wins were all against the – let’s not program-shame – more unfortunate teams.
Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee has been a tad shaky all year, but it won three of its last four, hung around with UTSA in a 14-point loss, and there’s one key element that’s the reason why this game is here.
Middle Tennessee leads the nation in turnover margin.
Now, beware, Blue Raider QB Chase Cunningham is very, very questionable – he’s probably out with a leg injury – however, that D has forced 25 takeaways on the year, highlighted by six in the upset win over a Marshall team with a strong air show and five last week against Southern Miss.
