A bit of an annoying week with an unfortunate backdoor cover from Kansas State and a close miss on Troy. On to the next week.

Coastal Carolina @ Arkansas State (Thursday, 6:30 PM Central)

I don’t think people appreciate just how good Coastal Carolina is. They have covered every game this year other than Buffalo and have a legitimate case as a top 10 team after how good last year’s squad was. Arkansas State got killed by a Georgia Southern team that just fired their head coach and is careening towards the bottom ten. Coastal’s high powered offense will roll here.
Coastal Carolina -19 -110 (2 units)

TCU @ Texas Tech

Texas Tech is a really fraudulent 4-1. They beat West Virginia on the road last week but their run game was really inefficient and their yards per play were way worse than WVU. Texas got everything they wanted against the Red Raiders the week prior as well. TCU is probably the fifth best team in the Big 12 behind Texas, Iowa State and the Oklahoma schools and this line is on the wrong side of 3. 

TCU -1.5 -110 (2 units)

North Texas @ Missouri

I’ve bet against Missouri twice this year (against Central Michigan and Boston College) and won both. The Tigers got absolutely obliterated last week as Tennessee tallied 7.5 yards per carry on 59 rushing attempts. North Texas hasn’t been great this year but there are only a dozen or so FBS teams who Missouri should be three touchdown favorites against.

North Texas +19 -110 (1 unit)

Wake Forest @ Syracuse (Saturday, 2:30 PM Central)

Wake Forest is 5-0 and ranked in the top 20 for the first time in a while. They got lucky to beat Louisville last week, allowing a mediocre Cardinals offense to put up 7.5 yards per play. Wake is nowhere near one of the top 25 teams in the country and I think their undefeated record may be leading to them getting a bit too much credit.

Syracuse +6.5 -110 (1 unit)
