AFTERNOON SPECIAL **MUST PLAYER ALERT!**
(NCAAF) Rice vs. WKU,
Point Spread: 13.00 | 103.00 Rice (Away)
Result: Loss
8* Rice (SPECIAL)

Here's a great situational play. Rice is a big underdog here, but at 5-4 it needs one more victory to become eligible. The Owls are coing off a solid 37-30 win and cover at home over UTEP. The Owls average 30 PPG, which is ranked 59th. WKU is now eligible at 6-4 after its big 59-7 win over Charlotte last weekend. Next week is the Hilltoppers' bye week, followed by a game at FAU to end the regular season. I say this sets up as a look-ahead/letdown spot for the home side, and when you add those two factors together, you get "trap game!" WKU averages 37.2 PPG, but I expect a small mental letdown here after last week's victory. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points, the play is Rice!
