UTEP vs Western Kentucky Prediction & Picks 10/10/2024

The UTEP Miners are set to take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on October 10, 2024, at 8:00 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has opened with the UTEP Miners as 20-point underdogs. Currently, 42% of spread bets are in favor of the Miners, while the Hilltoppers have garnered 58% of the bets. The total is set at 58.5, with 91% of bets favoring the over. Here, we break down UTEP vs Western Kentucky, in what is expected to be a lopsided college football game in Conference USA.

UTEP Digging For First Win

The UTEP Miners are 0-5 to start their 2024 season in college football, including a loss to Southern Utah of the FCS. UTEP has lost all four of their games against FBS opponents by double-digits, including their most recent Conference USA game against Sam Houston State last week, which they lost 41-21. At this point, simply staying within a couple of possessions of an FBS opponent would be a step in the right direction for UTEP, who will look to pull off a major upset this week in Kentucky.

Can Western Kentucky Bounce Back From Boston College Heartbreak?

This season has been a successful one so far for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, who are 3-2 overall and 1-0 in Conference USA action. Last week, the Hilltoppers had a three-game winning streak snapped when they lost by one point on the road against Boston College. Western Kentucky held a 20-7 lead in the fourth quarter of that game, but could not finish the job to move to 4-1 on the year. Here, they will look to bounce back against a bad UTEP team, but not letting their guard down for the late stages of this game will be a key, as we saw for WKU last week.

UTEP vs Western Kentucky Prediction

This is a huge point spread to navigate in Thursday's UTEP vs Western Kentucky game. But there is a reason for that, as UTEP has been dreadful offensively for most of this year. We will lay the points with Western Kentucky, as the Hilltoppers should be able to do more than enough to put up points against one of the worst teams in all of college football.
