Gambling Odds Online: Western Kentucky vs. Middle Tennessee

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders will visit the Floyd Stadium this Thursday night in the college football betting week 6.

To be completely accurate, the NCAA week actually begins 90 minutes earlier (7:30 PM EST) in Murfreesboro but we will not be watching this Sun Belt snoozer – not with the ‘Big Bang Theory’ on at the same time. Hey, we’d probably force ourselves to watch the new ‘Charlie’s Angels’ before turning to ESPNU.

However, that’s not to say that this final score won’t be of any interest.

In fact, from a handicapping perspective, this appears to be the stronger game on tonight’s card.

The Blue Raiders are off to their usual slow start under HC Rick Stockstill (12-17 SU in Games One through Five, including 3-6 ATS at home) and have not delivered as chalk of late, posting
a 1-5 ATS mark over their last six when laing points.

The Hilltoppers, meanwhile, have rewarded their backers with a 10-3 ATS number in their last 13 conference games, including a cash-grabbing 4-point defeat versus Arkansas State last week at home as 12.5-point dogs. In fact, WKU’s last 14 SU losses as dogs have resulted in a 10-4 ATS log. We may not be watching but like ‘Big Brother’, our betting database always is and it tells us this is a ‘hot, dense’ take.

Who are we to argue with this ‘Theory’ – grab the points and start the week with a ‘Bang.’

Middle Tennessee is currently the favorite at BetOnline sportsbook, the line is Blue Raiders listed as 8-point favorites against the Hilltoppers, and the game's total is sitting at 54½.
