Here’s how the drill goes. Without looking, I take a guess on what the initial college football lines are going to be for Week 6. The real lines are added after to see if there might be anything that appears to be way off.

Now the college football season has flipped the switch.

It’s still strange, but the matchups are better, and the values are insane considering how many upsets and crazy outcomes there have been early on.

Here’s how the drill goes. Without looking, I take a guess on what the initial college football lines are going to be for Week 5. The real lines are added after to see if there might be anything that appears to be way off.

Finally, the season is about to get a whole lot stronger.

The Big Ten might be a month away from getting going, but the SEC is back, the ACC and Big 12 seasons are starting to get rolling, and the overall play should be a whole lot sharper.

Arkansas State (7-4) vs. South Alabama (1-10) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

Arkansas State is rolling, and South Alabama really, really isn’t.

The Jaguars can’t had a lick of luck this year as they close out without a win over an FBS team so far. They’ve been competitive throughout the Sun Belt campaign, but there hasn’t been enough offensive punch to come through at the right times.

The Arkansas State defense is just lousy enough for USA to make some noise – Tra Minter and the ground attack should push for 200 yards for the first time all year – but the Jaguar D is about to get bombed on.

No receiver in America is playing better than ASU’s Omar Bayless – averaging over 17 yards per catch with 80 grabs for 1,375 yards and 15 scores – and he’s about to go off again.

Outside of a rocky performance against Texas State, ASU freshman quarterback Layne Hatcher has been fantastic – throwing for 297 yards or more with two touchdown passes or more – in six of his last seven games. He’ll hit the 300-yard mark, but in its season finale, USA will provide a wee bit of a fight.

The last three Red Wolves games have been decided by a touchdown or less. This won’t be that, but it won’t be a total wipeout.

Boise State (10-1) vs. Colorado State (4-7) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

Normally, Boise State would chill it out a bit this week and cruise on into the Mountain West Championship next week against Hawaii. But it has a solid shot at doing something special.

Don’t be so sure there’s going to be a one-loss American Athletic Conference champion. Memphis and Cincinnati might end up meeting twice, and if they split their mini-series and Boise State takes down Colorado State before beating the Rainbow Warriors, it’s a mortal lock to get the Group of Five’s New Year’s Six bowl game.

Colorado State has lost two in a row, but it played just well enough over the second half of the season to be a bit more respectable than the 4-7 record.

The passing game has improved, the defense hasn’t been bad, and …

It’s all about to run into a rolling Bronco team.

Boise State has scored 42 or more in four of its last six games, and 52 or more in three of those wins.

With injuries at quarterback, the running game has taken over with 200 yards or more in four or the last six games and with close to 300 in the blowout win over Utah State.

Colorado State gives up more than 200 yards a game on the ground.

The Rams aren’t going to be a total pushover, but the Broncos will pull away in the second half in the push for Cotton Bowl.

UCF (8-3) vs. South Florida (4-7) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

UCF might be knocked off its American Athletic Conference championship crown this year, but it’s still a dangerous team that’s in line for one of the league’s better bowl matchups – even if there aren’t any.

UCF has lost three straight to ensure a losing season, but there’s still a wee bit of hope – two of the battles were against Temple and Cincinnati, and the other was a loss to a well-motivated Memphis.

There’s just enough of a Bull pass rush to force a slew of mistakes. USF leads the league in takeaways, and it needs them all with an offense that’s not going anywhere with any consistency.

The USF offensive line isn’t stopping anyone’s pass rush.

UCF leads the nation in tackles or loss.

The Knight defensive front will live in the Bull backfield, but this is a game for the offensive line. Everyone’s getting fat running on the USF defensive front that allowed 525 yards over the last two games and 200 or more six times so far. The Bulls allowed 21 touchdown runs in the seven losses and just four in the wins.

UCF is about to blast away for its fourth 300-yard rushing game of the year as it keeps its hold on the rivalry.

Memphis (10-1) vs. Cincinnati (10-1) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

So here’s the deal.

Cincinnati is in the American Athletic Conference Championship next week as the champion of the East. Memphis will play the Bearcats in a rematch it if it wins. However, Navy wins the West if it beats Houston and Memphis loses to UC. If the Midshipmen lose to the Cougars, then Memphis wins no matter what.

Got that?

Basically, if you like this game, you’ll probably get a second shot to see them go at it again next week.

The Tigers come in on a five-game winning streak with the AAC’s most efficient passing game, a defense that’s improving enough to not be a liability, and a pass rush with the upside to bother the UC backfield all game long.

The Bearcats haven’t lost since getting whumped by Ohio State back in early September. The O has stalled a bit over the last few weeks, and it’s been doing a bit of bum-slaying throughout the year, but the team doesn’t make big mistakes, the defense allowed the fewest points in the league, and the secondary is great at coming up with big plays.

However, the UC secondary can be beaten.

It survived East Carolina despite giving up 535 yards, it slipped past USF after giving up almost ten yards per throw, and on the year it’s been getting hit for 200 yards with ease by any team able to throw a forward pass.

Memphis will take Round One.

The Bearcat defense will struggle against the high-powered Memphis receiving corps that will open it up right away. UC QB Desmond Ridder will be one, but he won’t be effective enough on third downs to stop the momentum.

Expect a different game in Round Two, but don’t expect the Bearcats to take it easy in this go-round.

Central Michigan (7-4) vs. Toledo (6-5) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

Central Michigan needed a minor miracle, and they got one when a blast of winter weather hit DeKalb, Illinois, helping out Northern Illinois stun the MAC’s best offensive team in a 17-14 win over Western Michigan.

That WMU loss means that CMU takes the MAC West and will go on to face Miami University for the conference title with a win over Toledo.

The Rockets have lost two straight and desperately need another win to be almost assured of a bowl appearance. They’re eligible, but with so many teams with six or more wins, seven should assure a post-season exhibition game.

They live thanks to the MAC’s best running game with 200 yards or more six times in eight games before being held in check by Buffalo.

The Central Michigan run defense is solid.

Overall, the D is great at coming up with takeaways. It’ll force three takeaways, the defensive front will come up with enough big plays to get stall the Rocket O on several third downs, and it’ll survive a late rally at home to pull off the win and get into the MAC Championship.

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

The RedHawks have bigger fish to fry.

They’ve already won the MAC East, and they played like it in a 20-17 win over an Akron team that might be the worst in the country.

Ball State is on a four-game losing streak and blow its shot to stay in the hunt for a bowl with a loss at Kent State. This is it for the Cardinals.

Miami might be on a five-game winning streak, and it’ll play hard, but Ball State will do a wee bit more on Senior Day. The RedHawks have to simply stay healthy.

The Ball State offense has a bit more pop, it’s not making big mistakes, and it’ll do just enough on the offensive front to keep the swarming RedHawk defensive line from taking over the game.

MU won’t be able to move the ball well enough in the second half with two turnovers becoming a problem late.
