Remember one of our Golden Rules of handicapping is that totals are much more about pace than offensive or defensive competence. Bowling Green head coach Dino Babers brings the up-tempo Baylor system. During his tenure at Eastern Illinois, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was ending a two-year, 26-game run under Babers with 8,873 passing yards and 84 touchdowns.

In his first full season as a starter last season, Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty set school records for passing yards (2,857) and completion percentage (65.8). He's a senior now. One-time Louisville QB Jeff Brohm is the new head coach and he will keep the ball in the air.

They have a rising stud WR in WR Taywan Taylor. As a freshman last season, he started seven games and caught 24 passes for 270 yards.

WKU returns very little experience on defense. This game will soar over the total.
