Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders

The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are struggling this season with a 2-6 record entering Week 10. Quarterback Nicholas Vattiato has shown promise but needs to improve his performance, while running back Jaiden Credle has been a key player on offense. The defense has been a weak point, allowing an average of 36.3 points per game. Injuries to key players like tight end Holden Willis and running back Frank Peasant further complicate their situation. With a power ranking of 117, Middle Tennessee is struggling on both offense and defense, making it essential for them to make improvements if they want to start winning games.

UTEP Miners Analysis

The UTEP Miners' football team is currently struggling with a 1-7 record this season, with quarterback JP Pickles set to make his first career start in place of Skyler Locklear. Despite their offensive challenges, the defense has shown promise with a strong pass rush and solid numbers in sacks and turnovers. The team's power ranking is 116, with a ranking of #126 for offense and #104 for defense. Injuries to key players like Locklear, McConnell, and Smith have also impacted the team. Their upcoming matchup against Middle Tennessee State will be a test for the Miners as they look to improve their performance and secure a win.

UTEP Offense Faces Uncertainties Ahead of JP Pickles' Debut Start

There are several uncertainties surrounding the UTEP offense as they prepare for JP Pickles' inaugural collegiate start due to Skyler Locklear's undisclosed injury and subpar performance this season. The Miners have struggled to contain passing plays and currently rank 124th in college football with a 66.5% opposing completion rate. Furthermore, Middle Tennessee boasts a 5-1 record against UTEP historically, having triumphed in each of their last four encounters. Given these factors, it seems unlikely that JP Pickles will secure a victory in his debut start, making it advisable to predict that the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders will cover the spread on the road.
