Almost every game is on espn3 or the plus.
Remember guys, the plus is a minus.

Solid troll job but you can't argue the facts. I blame the reliance on streaming for coverage now

Games that are AAC-controlled on ESPN+
5 FCS opponents, one Sun Belt, one MAC

AAC hosting ACC is on ESPN2
The sole intraconference game is on linear CBSSN.

So basically 5 games vs FCS which should be wins for AAC teams ( I hope)
USF (0-1)vs Howard
Tulane (1-0) vs Alcorn State
Temple (0-1) vs Lafayette
Cincinnati (0-1) vs Kennesaw State
SMU (1-0) vs Lamar

One Conference Game
Memphis (0-1) vs Navy (0-1)

Four Games vs FBS
Houston (1-0) vs Texas Tech (1-0)
ECU (0-1) vs ODU (1-0)
Tulsa (0-1) vs Northern Illinois (1-0)
UCF (1-0) vs Louisville (0-1)

Louisville @ UCF ESPN2
MY LINE: UCF 35-13 Louisville struggled mightily against Syracuse last week and its @ UCF. Cards get bounced in the Bounce House.

Saturday 9/10

Lafayette @ Temple ESPN+
MY LINE: Temple 27-24 Temple getting blanked by Duke last week really spooks me into saying they can blow this team out. That said, last week the Leopards took down Sacred Heart in a 6-0 shutout LOL.

Kennesaw St @ #_Cinci ESPN+
MY LINE: UC 40-13 There is no way this should be close.

Memphis @ Navy CBSSN
MY LINE: Memphis 31-17 I mean, Delaware doubling you up doesn't look good to me going into facing Memphis. While Memphis did lose last week it was at an SEC school.

#_ Houston @ Texas Tech FS1
MY LINE: Texas Tech 34-30 Houston didn't look convincingly better than UTSA last week and TT is probably better than UTSA, and its @ TT too boot.

ODU @ ECU ESPN+
MY LINE: ECU 33-20 IMO, this game has a lot of head games attached to it. How does ECU respond from a bad mojo loss to #13 NCSU at home last week and how does ODU respond to narrowly getting passed VT? If the ECU D continues its trends I don't think the ODU offense can get above 20 if #13 NCSU can only get 21 with a special teams TD factored in.

Alcorn St @ Tulane ESPN+
MY LINE: Tulane 37-17 Alcorn State took a narrow L last week, but Tulane is a much better team. Being @ Tulane I am letting the Wave get that double digit win.

Lamar @ SMU ESPN+
MY LINE: SMU 45-13 No way this should be close.

Howard @ USF ESPN+
MY LINE: USF 27-13 Howard is actually playing their 3rd game so I am giving their experience a little "edge" but USF should get this done easily.

Northern Illinois @ Tulsa ESPN+
MY LINE: Tulsa 34-31 Tulsa had a tough time with Wyoming last week but their game stands out to me more than the results of NIU's last game so I am predicting a close victory for Tulsa.

FUTURES

Saturday 9/9

UTSA @ Army CBSSN
MY LINE: UTSA 34-20 UTSA is a stronger team right now.

Maryland @ Charlotte ?
MY LINE: UMD 45-12 Charlotte has been hot garbage so far, and I don't see that improving against Maryland.

SE Louisiana @ FAU ESPN3
MY LINE: FAU 37-16 FAU should be able to blow these guys out.

UAB @ Liberty ESPN+
MY LINE: UAB 34-27 UAB played some weak sauce last week while Liberty narrowly got by USM. I do think UAB is the better of the two.

Tx So @ UNT ESPN3
MY LINE: UNT 27-23 Based on games played, I think UNT should be able to get this one done.

McNeese @ Rice ESPN3
MY LINE: Rice 31-21 Rice got shellacked at #_ USC last week, but NcNeese is no USC.

Deuces wild?

MY LINE: UNT 27-23 Based on games played, I think UNT should be able to get this one done.

No kidding. Great job. Picking winners is easy. Picking accurate scores in the majority is difficult. Well done.

You always have a 50/50 going straight up.... Putting a score to it shows your belief in your own prediction.

Kind of why when I do the finals, I call it "reality said" lol.
