The marquee matchup is Western Kentucky Hilltoppers hosting Delaware Blue Hens, a near pick-em with both teams sitting at 3-4 and the Hilltoppers favored by just a point and a half, so expect a tight battle at the line of scrimmage into the fourth quarter. Later on, Sam Houston Bearkats head to Missouri State Bears as the clear underdog, giving up six and a half points, so watch whether the Bears can control time of possession early and avoid letting this turn into a track meet with the over sitting at 49.5.

If Western Kentucky's defense can bail them out on third-and-long, they should cover easily at home.
