u24.5 Team Total (-125)
Phil Longo is the new head coach at Sam Houston, and he loves to push the tempo. But I'm not sure even he knows who will be doing the pushing to start the year. Reports out of camp is that there are still three guys in contention for the starting QB role. That probably doesn't mean the Bearkats have three good QBs. WKU loaded up on defensive transfers this season and they should cause enough problems to slow Longo down while he's still figuring things out.
WKU -10.5 (-112)
Usual power ratings do not apply as both these rosters churn through players beyond previous comprehension. But Western Kentucky somehow returns more stability from a better team. The real reason to doubt the Bearkats, though, is doubt in new head coach Phil Longo. His offensive philosophy will only emphasize Sam Houston State's deficiencies.
