Southern Miss (6-3) vs. UTSA (4-5) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Thanks to Louisiana Tech’s loss to Marshall, the door has been opened up for Southern Miss to take over the West.

The Golden Eagles lost to the Bulldogs a few weeks ago, and they still have to deal with WKU and Florida Atlantic to close things out. They need to keep winning, and they need another Louisiana Tech loss.

On a run of four wins in the last five games, the defense has stepped it up with two dominant performances over the last two games against Rice and UAB.

The ultra-efficient USM passing game should be able to pick apart a Roadrunner secondary that’s having problems coming up with stops. Everyone from Old Dominion to Rice are throwing without easily, and Golden Eagle QB Jack Abraham should be able to hit at least 65% of his throws as the offense has control of the game throughout.

UTSA will score early to make it a wee bit of a battle, but the offensive production will be unsustainable against the USM pass rush.

Central Michigan (6-4) vs. Ball State (4-6) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Ball State is looking to get closer to bowl eligibility, needing to win two of its last three games to get there. More than that, there’s still a shot to win the MAC West by winning out and getting a Western Michigan loss along the way.

Central Michigan could lose a Western Michigan loss, too. The Chippewas take the West by winning this week, beating Toledo, and getting a Bronco loss.

The Chippewas have won four of their last five games with an improved defense and and an offense that’s able to put up yards in chunks. It’s a balanced attack getting a huge year out of Jonathan Ward, who’s run for 100 yards or more in five of his last six games.

Ball State has hit a bit of a snag over the last few weeks after going on a nice three-game winning streak. The offense as stalled a bit, the defense is getting killed by good ground games – the Cardinals have allowed close to 700 yards over the last two weeks.

On the flip side, Ball State’s running game means everything. CMU has a strong run defense, but the Cardinals are funning over and throw just about everyone, hammering away for over 200 yards in four of the last five games, running for 196 against Eastern Michigan in the other one, and …

Ball State pulls this off at home in desperation mode.

Air Force (7-2) vs. Colorado State (4-5) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Air Force has run four straight, and it’s still in the hunt for the Mountain title if it wins its last three games and gets two losses from Boise State.

Colorado State has won three straight, turned the season around, and now has to win two of the last three to get to a bowl game. That’s going to be tough with at Wyoming and Boise State to close, but the offense is rolling, and the defense has been just good enough to potentially give Air Force a problem.

But that’s not going to happen.

Air Force has had two weeks off after going on a tear. It’s rushed for 300 yards or more in each of its last four games – hit Utah State for 448 yards – and has managed to rip through everyone but Boise State and Navy.

Get to 250 yards or more, and the Falcons take full control of games and win.

On the flip side, Colorado State’s passing game has been fantastic over the last three weeks. However, two of those games were against New Mexico and UNLV.

The Rams have only allowed 250 rushing yards twice, and they’re about to give that up again.

Wyoming (6-3) vs. Utah State (5-4) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Utah State just has to keep winning.

It needs a little help to take the Mountain Division, but it still gets Boise State – that’s next – and it needs to win this week to get bowl eligible. Lose, and then it’ll get scary if it can’t get by the Broncos.

Wyoming is already bowl eligible, and it’s still sort of in the Mountain title hunt, but for now, it’s about getting a few more wins just to be assured of a decent bowl slot.

Can the Aggies slow down the Wyoming running game?

They were ripped up by Air Force and allowed 200 yards or more in three of the last five games, and lost all three. They’re now 0-4 when giving up 160 yards or more on the ground, and 5-0 when they allow fewer.

The Wyoming style isn’t sexy, but it works. When it runs for more than 160 yards, it’s 6-0 – and 0-3 when it doesn’t.

Utah State will never have the ball – it’s last in the nation in time of possession – and it’s going to have a problem with the tremendous Wyoming pass rush.

The Cowboys get it done on the road.

Boise State (8-1) vs. New Mexico (2-7) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Boise State can’t lock down the Mountain Division with a win, but it won’t hurt.

It still has to get by Utah State on the road next week.

First, the Broncos get a light scrimmage in their final home game of the year – at least until, possibly, the Mountain West championship.

New Mexico has lost six straight, and the bad season got a whole lot worse after the tragic death of defensive lineman Nahje Flowers – the Lobos postponed their game with Air Force last week.

On the field, there’s no defensive hope against the Broncos. It’s been a bit of a struggle lately for a team with dreams of playing in the Cotton Bowl and now it’s time to have some fun with a massive offensive display that the Lobos won’t be able to slow down.

The Boise State defensive front will clamp down on the New Mexico running game, the team will be a +3 in turnover margin, and this will quickly turn into a light scrimmage on Senior Night.

Hawaii (6-4) vs. UNLV (5-3) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Can the UNLV defense slow down the Hawaii passing attack?

The Rebels only have two wins on the year, and one was a strange victory over Vanderbilt on the road. They’ve been rocked by just about everyone else, but it comes down to whether or not the porous secondary can slow down the Rainbow Warrior air show that’s trying to lead the way to the team’s seventh win.

UNLV shut down the Vandy passing game cold, but it’s easy to put up at least 200 yards if anyone commits to it.
Hawaii commit to it.

The Rainbow Warrior defense will do its part, too, against a UNLV offense that can’t move the chains, isn’t consistent, and doesn’t have the ground game to slow things down when the defense is getting hit.

It doesn’t matter that it’s Chevan Cordeiro or Cole McDonald under center – Cordeiro threw for 309 yards and three scores against San Jose State, and he ran for 55 yards. The O will work without a problem as Hawaii rolls.

Is A Recently Fired Head Coach Bound for Michigan?

Well, it appears a certain, recently fired head college football coach may be headed to Ann Arbor for employment soon.

Notre Dame won’t be playing Michigan in football for the next dozen or so years assuming the stars don’t align the two don’t meet in a bowl game before the series resumes in the 2030’s.

But we tend to keep a watchful eye on what’s happening up north with a rival, whether they’re on the schedule or not.

Well, it appears a certain, recently fired head college football coach may be headed to Ann Arbor for employment soon.

It’s easy to piece this one together.

Willie Taggart was the starting quarterback at Western Kentucky long before soaring up the collegiate coaching ranks.

Jim Harbaugh and his father Jack helped recruit Taggart to WKU. Eventually Jim took the job at Stanford where Taggart would become an assistant coach before Taggart would go-on to South Florida, Oregon and eventually Florida State before being fired a couple short weeks ago.

Clearly nothing is official at this point but it’s college football which means if there is smoke, there is probably fire. If you’re into coaching changes and assistant coaching searches, keep an eye out for Taggart to find employment at Michigan before long.

Week 12 Final Thoughts, Investment Advice
ACC | Big 12 | Big Ten | Pac-12 | SEC

Before we get started, as a public service announcement, I have been ridiculously stupid off on my weeknight picks this week. A few weren’t my fault – really, Buffalo, REALLY?! A few just went the wrong way – ALL the North Carolina kicker had to do was miss in regulation – and there was a whiff or two – thanks, Toledo.

So keep that in mind on these first two picks …

Can Louisiana Tech’s offense get hot? I’m sort of under the belief that 1) yes, the Bulldogs haven’t played anyone, but 2) they’re that good offensively and now they get to prove it. Marshall is at home, but the line has moved up to Herd -6.5. That’s a lot to give the Tech offense. The 54.5 seems low, too.

Fresno State – San Diego State is almost certainly going to be 24-17. The hard part is guessing which way it goes, since all San Diego State games seem like they’re around the 24-17 range. The Aztec O is SO bad, but it’s down to a PICK in some places? With that SDSU D at home? Thanks.

ACC Betting Advice, Final Thoughts

If you’re really that weird and want in on the Alabama State – Florida State game, BetMGM does have it at Noles -41.5. This is for bowl eligibility or FSU, so it’s going to try and it should be up big in the first half, and then empty the bench in a hurry. As FCS paycheck games go, be warned, the Hornets aren’t that bad.

Of course Clemson is going to roll past Wake Forest. Of course there won’t be that much drama, and of course the team is going to try to make a statement, especially on Senior Day. The Tigers get two weeks off after this, but just be careful here. The Demon Deacons won’t win, but the world is giving the 13th-best offense in America – granted, without WR Sage Surratt – 34.5 points. It’s a not-that-crazy risk to take.

You’re teasing me, aren’t you? You’re mocking an exhausted man who hasn’t slept for over two months by telling me and the fine people reading this that Virginia Tech is only giving up six points to Georgia Tech? I know the Yellow Jackets are playing better, but you could make it 16 and I might not blink.

Don’t think hard here. Duke bad, Syracuse really bad. The 10 seems like a lot for a struggling Blue Devil team to be giving away to anyone right now. but the Orange are winless in a miserable ACC for a reason.

Am I late to the party here? Have I missed the moment when NC State did anything this year to suggest that it should be just a +4 against any team on the verge of bowl eligibility? The Pack will make it a fight against Louisville, but this is a bad State team.
