Mid Tennessee State (MTS) looks for its first win of the season after a pair of blowout losses. The Blue Raiders were destroyed by Army, 0-42 and then last week by Troy, 14-47. Texas San Antonio (UTSA) won in double OT against Texas State week 1, 51-48, and then beat Stephen Austin last week, 24-10. A win here today by UTSA and they could crack the top 25 poll as they are already receiving votes. The way MTS has been blown out their first two games I don't expect their defense to be able to stop this UTSA club. I'll lay the points in this one. Play UTSA.

 Houston needs today's game to help them gain one of those Wild Card spots and this Texas team is standing in their way. Texas has made no bones about it, they will do their best to stop them here tonight. Didn't work out too well for them yesterday as the Astros destroyed the Rangers. I look for a duplicate of last night's contest as the Astros look to take control of that final Wild Card slot. Lay the 1.5 runs with the Astros.

SEC begins play today in college football as Kentucky takes on Auburn. Kentucky has won 18 games the last two seasons and could be a team to surprise a lot of people in the SEC this year. Auburn just continues to play excellent football under HC Gus Malzahn. Kentucky is led by a ground game that averages 278.8 ypg last year. Auburn returns their starting QB from last year, Bo Nix. Nix had 16 TDs and just 6 int's last year. This offense should be much better this year under Nix. The Kentucky ground game should get their share too. I'm taking the OVER here in this SEC opener.

Florida International plays its first game of the season here on Saturday. They will face a 1-0 Liberty team. Liberty opened with a win over Western Kentucky, 30-24. Auburn transfer Malik Willis had a great day at QB for Liberty with 168 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Hard to gauge this FIU team that hasn't played yet. I know what we are getting with Liberty and that's a solid offense with a dynamic QB at the helm. Take Liberty.
