The Hilltoppers are equally bad on offense and defense. Offensively, the team ranks 104th in the nation averaging 290 yards a game, and their passing ranks 114th averaging only 120 yards per game while the run game is the lone bright spot. The Hilltoppers are gaining 170 yards on the ground good for 51st overall.

NCAAF Betting Tip – The under is 5-1 in Western Kentucky’s last six games after a straight up loss.

The ineffective passing game hurts, as they are unable to throw their way back into a game after they inevitably give up a lead to opponents this season.  Western is at or near the bottom in every defensive category after three games.  They are giving up an average of 50 points a game (119th), 198 rushing yards (102), 296 passing yards (113) and 494 total yards (116).

NCAAF Betting Tip – The over is 8-3 in South Florida’s last 11 games overall.

The South Florida Bulls are coming off a bye week with a 1-1 straight up and ATS record. They won their opening game over a division two team but lost to the Florida Gators where the failed to cover the pointspread.

Quarterback D.J. Daniels leads the team in both passing and rushing with 348 yards through the air with 3 touchdown passes and another 130 yards on the ground and one rushing touchdown.

Defensively, the Bulls are very good against the pass ranking 18th in the nation (142 yards per game) but against the run, they’re near the bottom. They give up 196 yards a game but the majority was given up in the loss to the Gators.

NCAAF Betting Tip – The Bulls are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against the Sun Belt Conference.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have lost 23 games in a row, they won’t win Saturday but the Bulls weakness is the Hilltoppers lone strength, and Western Kentucky should do enough to keep the game under a four-touchdown difference.

NCAAF Betting Pick: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -27
