The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will host the South Florida Bulls to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Kickoff is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium.
Western Kentucky finished last season ranked third in the nation in snagging interceptions, with 19 on the season. South Florida, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 112th with six.
Looking ahead to Saturday, Western Kentucky is the favorite in this one, and the experts expect to see them win by 13 points. They finished last season with a 9-5 record against the spread.
Western Kentucky ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 7-2 when favored last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $645.40. Sadly, South Florida will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 0-10 as such last year.
