Every week we’ll take a look at teams who are in tough situational spots, whether it be a potential look-ahead or letdown spot. This isn’t to say to stay away from these teams, but it’s good to consider these teams’ situations when handicapping your games during the week.

 

Teams in a potential letdown spot:

• Army -16 @ UTSA (B2B road trips – lost in OT @ Michigan last week)
• Maryland -7 @ Temple (Beat Syracuse @ home last week)
• Colorado -3.5 vs Air Force (Upset Nebraska @ home last week)
• Coastal Carolina -27 vs Norfolk St. (Beat Kansas on the road last week)
• UNC +3.5 @ Wake Forest (B2B upsets against South Carolina & then Miami)
• California -14 vs North Texas (Upset Washington on the road)
• Clemson -26 @ Syracuse (Beat #16 Texas A&M at home by 2 TDs)
