Continue reading to get our best bet for Middle Tennessee vs UTEP on Saturday.

Can Middle Tennessee Keep Slim Bowl Hopes Alive?

Middle Tennessee comes into this week's play with a 2-6 overall record and a 1-3 record in Conference USA. That means the Blue Raiders will need to win each of their last four games to get to six wins and become bowl eligible. That isn't likely to happen, but the Blue Raiders do have a winnable game in front of them this week as they take on a UTEP team with just one win on the season. However, Middle Tennessee's two wins this year came against an FCS opponent in Tennessee Tech, along with a Kennesaw State team in their first year at the FBS level. The Blue Raiders have not proven they can beat an established FBS program yet this year and will look to do so in this game.

UTEP Hoping to Protect Home Field

Things have gone poorly for the UTEP Miners this season as they are 1-7 overall and 1-4 in Conference USA play. But they do have a win within the last couple of weeks, as they got their first win of the season two games ago against Florida International. That game was played in El Paso, as the Miners will look to get their second home win in three weeks with a win here. For that to happen, UTEP's offense cannot afford to be as stagnant as it has been throughout this season, with the Miners only breaking 25 points once all year.

Middle Tennessee vs UTEP Pick

Both teams in this Middle Tennessee vs UTEP matchup have had dreadful seasons so far, but someone is required to win this game based on the rules of college football. We will bank on UTEP to be that team, as they at least have home-field advantage to rely on as they take on a Middle Tennessee team that has yet to win on the road this year. Look for UTEP to get to the two-win mark for the year, while knocking Middle Tennessee out of the race to make a bowl game.
