Increasingly and undeniably, the NFL pulls from college football innovations, covering up the NFL’s lack of creativity with collegiate absurdities.
With that in mind, this Thursday night could present a chance to see the NFL of the future. The Rice Owls have an offense so unique that it presently defies any quick name or brief description.
And that should be enough to get past the Charlotte 49ers, a struggling team in the first and now one with a defense that should be lost at kickoff.

Our best Rice vs Charlotte SGP for Week 4
If you barely understand the offense you are facing, let alone on a short week, that is enough of a disadvantage to be dismissed outright.
And Charlotte’s defense is already bad.
A few chunk plays from Rice should spur this Thursday night game toward a relatively high score, the word “relatively” doing a bevy of work in this usage.
But on top of that, the Owls’ defense is far from sound, so it ought to cough up a few chunk plays of its own, helping this cause as we chase 45 points.
Chase Jenkins has thrown for two touchdown passes this season, hardly enough to usually inspire much faith in that leg of this same-game parlay, but take some relief in knowing Charlotte has given up eight touchdown passes in just three games against teams with dubious passing offenses.

- Rice -2.5
