Notre Dame vs Stanford Game Preview

Why Stanford Will Win

The Cardinal were so close to looking like they were finally about to turn the season around.

They had Oregon State in big trouble, it was over, and then a late rally with a miraculous final play ended in disaster for a 1-4 start with four straight Pac-12 defeats and no wins yet over an FBS team.

But they didn’t play all that poorly.

Scoring has been a fight and the running game sputtered against the Beavers, but the turnover problem from the first three games slowed down.

There aren’t any penalties – Stanford leads the nation in fewest sins – and the passing game is just efficient enough to push the Notre Dame D. However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Notre Dame Will Win

Again, the scoring for Stanford – it’s not there. It’s been a chore for the offense to close out drives with anything meaningful thanks to a line that allows way too many sacks and big plays.

But that’s not the real problem.

The defensive front has been a nightmare against the run allowing 5.6 yards per carry and an average of 211 yards per game. This is the wrong time to be dealing with the Irish.

The 0-2 start is well in the rearview mirror with three straight fun wins – in completely different ways – and it starts with a ground game that found something that works.

The running back combination of Auric Estime and Chris Tyree has been great, and QB Drew Pyne is red hot hitting 75% of his throws over the last three games with eight touchdown passes.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Stanford continues to be just good enough to lose tastefully.

It’ll hang around and score enough here and there to make the Irish keep fighting, but it won’t be able to come through in the second half after the run defense starts to struggle.

The Notre Dame win over BYU was the real corner-turner. Hanging on against Cal and beating North Carolina was nice, but BYU is a strong team that couldn’t handle what the Irish were able to do offensively as the game went on.

Stanford won’t be able to, either.

ULM vs South Alabama Game Preview

Why ULM Will Win

Can the passing game stay sharp?

The Warhawks might have lost to Coastal Carolina 28-21 last week, but Chandler Rogers went off hitting 27-of-30 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns.

This isn’t a high-powered Warhawk passing team, but South Alabama can be thrown on with quick midrange throws. There isn’t enough of a pass rush from the USA defensive front to matter, and on the other side there’s no downfield passing on a consistent basis to take advantage of the shaky ULM secondary.

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why South Alabama Will Win

The Jaguars just keep getting it done.

There’s nothing flashy about what they do. They’ll come up with 200 passing yards 150ish running yards, and they’ll find ways to come through when needed.

They’re just one weird play against UCLA away from being 5-0 and a national big thing. As long as the takeaways keep coming, that will continue.

ULM doesn’t turn the ball over all that much, but it gave it away five times in the last three games. USA is red hot at forcing mistakes with ten takeaways in the last three games.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

The fun will continue.

South Alabama will be consistent against the ULM defense with the balanced attack keeping control of the game throughout.

ULM will stay in it and have its chances, but two turnovers early and no takeaways will make it too hard high a hill to climb on the road.

WKU vs Middle Tennessee Game Preview

Why WKU Will Win

The Hilltoppers keep on winging it around.

They might not be as fun as they were in the Bailey Zappe days of last year, but they’re third in the nation in passing, the offense averages close to 500 yards per game, and Middle Tennessee will have to press to keep up.

The biggest key against Middle Tennessee is the ability to keep the mistakes to a minimum. The Hilltoppers don’t have a massive turnover problem, but as long as they’re no worse than -1 against the Blue Raiders they should be fine because …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Middle TennesseeWill Win

The Middle Tennessee defense brings the pressure throughout.

It’s among the best in the nation in sacks, it lives in the backfield with a ton of tackles for loss, and it forces takeaways in bunches with 12 over a four game stretch before failing to come up with one in the 41-14 loss at UAB.

Even with all of that the pass defense isn’t great. However, the Blue Raider passing game can keep up – Chase Cunningham won’t have a problem hitting the 300-yard mark if this gets going.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams are going to throw it, and WKU does it better.

Can it limit the turnovers? There will be two, but Middle Tennessee needs to force a few more. The biggest Blue Raider problem will be consistency of the pass rush – it won’t be quite as effective against the quick-hitting WKU passing game.

Expect lots of points, lots of yards, and a fun game with a good finish.

UCF vs Temple Game Preview

Why Temple Will Win

Every once in a while a struggling team with a new head coach who’s looking to create an identity can find something to build off of.

Temple just happens to be amazing at generating sacks and coming up with third down stops.

While that might seem a bit small, it’s a big deal to rely on while the other parts are improving.

The D is third in the nation allowing teams to convert just 24% of the time, that stars with a run defense that’s stopping just about everyone cold, and that’s all a part of a pass rush that’s tied for the best in the nation.

Temple’s defense has kept games alive. It’s allowing an average of under 17 points per game, the defense leads the American Athletic Conference, and the game shouldn’t get out of hand, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why UCF Will Win

Temple hasn’t faced any sort of an offense like this.

Memphis has an offense, and it went for 331 yards in last week’s 24-3 win. Duke rolled up 500 yards in the 30-0 loss, but that’s been about it.

UCF is ripping through everyone on the ground, averaging 253 yards per game with two efforts of over 320 yards in two of the last three games.

The Knights might not be able to do that, but as long as it gets up early everything else should be fine.

Temple’s offense is sputtering. It’s among the least efficient in the nation in passing, there’s no running game, and the only scoring outbursts came against Lafayette and UMass.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

UCF will get up early and coast from there. The defense might not be a rock – who gives up over 300 passing yards to Georgia Tech? – but it won’t have any issues to deal with.

Temple will throw for over 200 yards, but the ground game won’t go anywhere, it’ll turn it over at least twice, and the run defense get hit harder than it has all year.

Army vs Colgate Game Preview

Why Colgate Will Win

The Raiders have a whole slew of problems, but the run defense isn’t too bad.

There’s no pass rush, but that doesn’t matter against Army. Colgate’s offense doesn’t have a turnover problem and it doesn’t beat itself with a ton of penalties.

Army’s offense has been awful, but it’s not operating at peak efficiency. The running game isn’t quite as dominant as it should be and the defense isn’t holding up like it needs to, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Army Will Win

The Knights are catching a break against a Colgate team that’s not going put a ton of points up on the board.

The running game is okay, but the passing attack doesn’t rip off yards in chunks. Worst of all, it doesn’t hit its third down tries and doesn’t control the clock.

No, Army’s offense isn’t operating like it should, but it should be able to keep the ball for well over 35 minutes.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Army is overdue for a strong performance.

It couldn’t stop screwing up in the loss to Georgia State, and is never had much of a chance against Wake Forest. This week it’ll go on two early scoring drives and crank down the clock from there. Colgate won’t have the O to keep up.

UConn vs Ball State Game Preview

Why UConn Will Win

Can Ball State stop the run? Sort of, but not really.

Usually the run defense holds up mostly because teams chose to throw, but commit to the ground attack and it’s possible to bash a bit.

UConn has won its last two games with a strong defensive performance against Fresno State and by running for close to 300 yards against FIU. It’s going to have to keep the clock moving and control the line.

Ball State’s defense doesn’t do enough to get into the backfield, the offense doesn’t do well on third downs, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Ball State Will Win

The Cardinals are finding ways to win, taking three of the last four with the passing attack taking over when the running game isn’t working.

The defense is taking the ball away forcing multiple turnovers in four of the last five games – UConn can’t afford any giveaways or mistakes.

There’s no passing game from the Huskies to worry about. Keep them to under 200 rushing yards and all should be okay.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Ball State might not be perfect, but good passing teams are the bigger problem for its D. The good ground games aren’t that big of an issue.

UConn is plucky enough to hang around and keep this tight for a while, but the Ball State offense will start to throw well enough to pull away in the second half.

Liberty vs Gardner-Webb Game Preview

Why Gardner-Webb Will Win

Don’t be fooled by the 2-4 record; Gardner-Webb will battle.

The offense has one of the Big South’s best passing attacks, the running game isn’t too bad, and the defense is strong enough on third downs to get off the field in a hurry.

The pass rush is dangerous enough to bother a Liberty passing game that’s okay, but isn’t consistent and isn’t accurate. As long as the Runnin’ Bulldogs are able to grind it out a bit and keep the Liberty offense off the field, they’ll be in this late.

They gave Coastal Carolina a hard time and weren’t too awful in the loss to Marshall, and …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Liberty Will Win

Liberty just keeps on winning.

It isn’t as dangerous as it was when Malik Willis was doing his thing, but it’s not losing the turnover battle, and the defense has been excellent at getting off the field at just the right time. The big pass plays are there even if the accuracy isn’t, and it should all work against a Gardner-Webb defense that isn’t bad, but can be pushed.

As long as Liberty is balanced and averaging close to five yards per carry, it’ll be fine.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Liberty hasn’t always been great against the mediocre teams, but it manages to get through without any trouble. It’ll be in for a battle for a half, but the offense will start to pull away as the Gardner-Webb offense stalls in too many key spots.

Ohio vs Western Michigan Game Preview

Why Ohio Will Win

The offense has been a blast.

The Bobcats are bombing away with one of the nation’s best passing games rolling for almost 1,300 yards over the last three games with nine touchdowns.

The attack is No. 1 in the MAC and 37th in the nation overall, the passing offense is averaging 387 yards per game, and it should all work against a dying Western Michigan team that can’t seem to do anything quite right.

The Broncos aren’t moving the chains, they can’t stop getting hit with flags, and the defense isn’t generating enough pressure to be any sort of a bother for the Bobcats.

However …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Western Michigan Will Win

If the hugely disappointing Bronco offense was ever going to perk up, this would be the game to do it.

Ohio’s defense isn’t stopping anything.

The pass defense is allowing quarterbacks to hit 72% of their passes, it allowed over 1,300 yards in the last three games, and overall it’s dead last in college football by a mile.

Turnovers haven’t been a problem over the last few weeks and the passing game hasn’t been totally awful – it’s just brutally inconsistent. That should change this week, but …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can Western Michigan really keep up the pace? It hasn’t been able to do it so far.

Turnovers were a problem early, and penalties have been a huge issue over the last few games. The defense has been way too leaky and Ohio ‘s offense has been way too explosive, however, it has only gone off against the truly mediocre.

After last week’s ugly loss at home to Eastern Michigan the Broncos find something that works this week in a fun shootout with just enough steady scoring to keep up.

Miami University vs Bowling Green Game Preview

Why Miami University Will Win

Can the RedHawk running game continue to roll?

All of a sudden the program that struggled for years to grind is among the best in the MAC on the ground. It hit the 200-yard mark in each of the last three games and in four of the last five.

Bowling Green can’t stop it.

The Falcons have a bigger issue against the pass, but the run defense is struggling lately – it got run over by Buffalo in the 38-7 loss – but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Bowling Green Will Win

The Falcons have been throwing well.

The O didn’t work against Mississippi State or UCLA, but it’s been able to get to at least 240 yards against everyone else. Miami might be good at controlling games, but the secondary is getting eaten alive allowing 250 yards or more in every game but the wins over Buffalo and Robert Morris.

As long as the Falcons keep throwing well and Matt McDonald can hit over 60%, they’ll make this a fight.

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Bowling Green shocked Marshall with three takeaways, and it came up with a win over Akron with three more. It’s 2-0 when it comes up with three, 0-4 when it doesn’t, and …

Miami doesn’t turn the ball over. The win over Robert Morris was the only time the team gave it up more than once. The running game will take over early and control the game throughout.

However, the RedHawks don’t score enough. Bowling Green will be in it late, but won’t come through.

Why Buffalo Will Win

The Bulls found their running groove.

They weren’t able to do much on the ground against Miami University, but the defense and passing attack did just enough to get the win, and then came the season-high 280-yard day in the win over Bowling Green.

On a three-game winning streak, the defense is playing better, there aren’t a slew of mistakes, and the team is able to hang on to the ball and control the clock.
