T.M. Selection: WKU

I like the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to win this game against the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday. WKU is off a loss against Troy last week, but that doesn't mean that they had a bad game. QB Austin Reed was stellar, as he threw for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns. Reed now has 1663 passing yards on the year with 17TDs and just 4INTs in 5 games this season. UTSA won last week, but they struggled on the offensive side of the ball a bit. Although QB Frank Harris threw for 400+ yards as well, he threw 3 INTs, and that could be costly in a game like we have this week. WKU comes into this one with a 4-1 ATS record in their last 5 games played on the road. They are also 9-3 ATS in their L12 games, dating back to last season. With both teams being in the Top 10 in the country in passing yards, this game has shootout written all over it. But I think that the WKU defense is just a tad better which should help them get a huge stop late in this game. Give me the Hilltoppers plus the points here.

T.M. Prediction: 45-38 WKU.
