Tulsa @ Northern Illinois ?

SMU @ TCU FS1

#_ Miami @ Temple ESPN2

FAU @ Illinois ?

UTSA @ #_ Tennessee SECN

Rice @ USF ESPNU

Gardner-Webb @ ECU ESPN+

Charlotte @ Florida ESPN+/SECN+

Nicholls @ Tulane ESPN+

UAB @ #_ Georgia ESPN2

Memphis @ Missouri ESPNU

Games that interest me:

SMU @ TCU

Memphis @ Missouri

On the low:

Gardner-Webb @ ECU ...does ECU begin the season 0-4?

Games of interest in my opinion
1. Memphis 3-0 vs Mizzou 3-0. First big test for Tigers. Are they NY6 contenders
2. SMU 2-1 vs TCU 2-1. Another good test for SMU. Needs win
3. Rice 2-1 vs USF 1-2 First conference games for both.
4. FAU 1-2 vs Illinois 1-2 Can FAU win this one.
5. Tulsa 1-2 at No Illinois 1-2. Tulsa must win game

In my opinion the rest are sure wins or losses
UTSA @ Tenn
Charlotte @ Florida
Miami @ Temple
UAB @ Georgia
Nicholls St @ Tulane
Gardner Webb @ ECU

Navy vs BYE - take Navy to cover the spread, but take the under

A weekend of hurt on the horizon

Also interested in Rice@USF for obvious reasons. Bulls played Alabama tough. A Rice win keeps it interesting as Rice has UConn and ECU at home then Tulsa on the road before hosting Tulane and SMU. It would be fun if Tulane, SMU and Rice could all keep rolling along with 1 loss each while Memphis stays undefeated.

My selections in bold font.

My first instinct was - NO WAY. And then I took a look at what a dumpster fire Illinois program has become and figured that there may be a miniscule chance.

I dare not dream of hope, for I am not worthy of it. But after a word from you I can accept my poverty again; I shall joyfully endure my hopeless lot. I shall face the struggle; I shall be glad of it; I shall rise up again with renewed strength, and a warmed-over hamburger from the concession stand.

And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!

SMU @ TCU FS1 (TCU -6.0)

#_ Miami @ Temple ESPN2 (Miami -25.5)

FAU @ Illinois (Illinois -12.0)

UTSA @ #_ Tennessee SECN (Tennessee -20.0)

Rice @ USF ESPNU (Rice -2.5)

Gardner-Webb @ ECU ESPN+ (No line I could find)

Charlotte @ Florida ESPN+/SECN+ (Florida -28.0)

Nicholls @ Tulane ESPN+ (No line I could find)

UAB @ #_ Georgia ESPN2 (Georgia -40.0)

Memphis @ Missouri ESPNU (Missouri -6.5)

Just curious about how big you folks think the Mizzou win over KSt is? Will that win make Mizzou over-confident? Will it help them against Memphis?

Bet the ranch on Georgia - if you can find anyone to take UAB. Gonna be ugly.

Most interesting game of week, in my opinion. Will USF experience a letdown after selling out and hanging with Alabama. Game could decide who makes a run to be in upper echelon of AAC.

Lots of L's upcoming

Yep. A lot riding on this game for both teams. Should be some way to mash Texas 37 - Rice 10, Texas 34 - Alabama 24, and Alabama 17 - USF 3 together and make a prediction.

But either way, we both might be top half of this AAC.
