WKU averages 286 yards per game through the air, 19th in the nation, and scores 29.8 points per game. Quarterback Austin Reed will reportedly sit this game out but big-play receiver Malachi Corley, who had 11 touchdown receptions, this year, is expected to play. The model also knows that the Hilltoppers have won three of their past four games, closing with a 41-28 rout of Florida International. ODU's balanced offense, led by quarterback Grant Wilson, faces a WKU defense that allows 428 yards per game (117th in FBS). Five of their six losses were within one score, including a 30-27 loss to James Madison, who were ranked No. The model knows that the Monarchs won two in a row following a three-game losing streak, but they played a tough schedule. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
The model enters bowl season a profitable 13-9 on top-rated spread picks. Since its inception, it has generated a strong profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread.
