Am I delirious or didn't there used to be at least one good power conference game on Thursday nights in college football not all that long ago? That's not the case these days, apparently, and I'm not sure what changed – but obviously the Group of 6 programs will take any national TV attention they can get. There are two games on tonight's slate, but the bigger one is UTSA at Florida Atlantic from the American Conference.
Bet on college football at DraftKings, where new users get $200 in bonus bets and three free months of NBA League Pass when they spend $5+: It's a 7:30 p.m. ET kick on ESPN from Boca Raton/Del Boca Vista, and the weather looks great, as it usually does this time of year in Florida: A few clouds. At -6.5 via DraftKings, UTSA is taking 69% of ATS handle but only 28% of bets.
The massively high total of 72.5, among the highest nationally this season, is seeing heavy money to the Over with 86% of money and 60% of tickets. I'll never bet an Over 70 in my life, college or NFL.

You should be aware that of 11 of the 12 total CFP national champions opened ranked in the top four, so that's good news for Miami, No. 2 Georgia, No. 3 Utah and No. 4 Indiana.
I'm here to focus on those rankings regarding the Group of 6 and UTSA's shot to make the playoff. The Roadrunners (7-1, 4-0 American) were not ranked in the Top 25. The lone G6 school that was: Boise State of the Pac-12 at No. 25.
The Broncos, who staged a big rally last week to avoid a home upset vs. Texas State by one point, have the national name recognition and the clear path to the playoff if they win out; they are +100 to get there and -122 for No. Looking at Boise's slate, it may well win out, although the Pac-12 title game might be a problem against perhaps Oregon State.
