This game is a look ahead spot for Middle Tennessee, a team that has struggled to stop the run and has a terrible secondary. They won’t be able to stop the Hilltoppers who are a pass heavy team and have beaten this team in the past. Last season WKTY beat MTU 31-10. Western Kentucky has covered the spread in their last three games against MTU. MTU is 3-12 against the spread in their last 15 games.

Best bet: lay the points with Western Kentucky.
