The South Florida Bulls have had some formidable foes thus far but it will get a little easier tonight when they host the Eastern Carolina Pirates at Raymond James Stadium. USF opened the season with a win over Citadel, 27-6, but then had to face #5 ranked Notre Dame and #11 ranked Cincinnati. The Irish blew the Bulls out 52-0 but they hung in there with the Bearcats, losing 28-7 with 5 interceptions, despite having 12 players out for that game with 8 of those on the defensive side. The Pirates, who are winless at 0-2, were blown out by Central Florida, 51-28, and by Georgia State, 49-29. Their defense is pathetic. They are ranked last in the AAC, have yet to record a sack, and are allowing an average of 558.5 yards per game. South Florida has won the last 5 meetings with Eastern Carolina, including a 45-21 drubbing in their last meeting on October 26, 2019. Even the Bulls lethargic offense should be able to move the ball against the Pirates.

The defending National Champions, the Clemson Tigers, and the Ohio State Buckeyes will meet tonight in Glendale, Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl. Ohio State is ranked #5 in the nation in offense but quarterback Justin Fields has been wearing a knee brace which has slowed his moblilty and if he can’t move around in the pocket the Buckeyes could be in trouble. Clemson has the #1 ranked defense in the country and are averaging 2.85 sacks per game. The Tigers have won 28 consecutive games and have averaged 42.1 points in their last 8. That’s impressive.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CLEMSON TIGERS M/L

BYU has been flip-flopping quarterbacks all year and are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.You can’t trust them. Take the points.
TONIGHT’S PICK: HAWAII RAINBOW WARRIORS +2.5

The Richmond Spiders will make the short trip to Norfolk tonight for a meeting with the Old Dominion Monarchs. The Spiders are off and running this year, with a 9-1 record.

At home, Old Dominion is averaging 67.2 points per game and allowing an average of 66. The Monarchs have won the last 3 meetings with the Spiders but expect that trend to end tonight.
