There's only one college football game on Thursday so let's take a look at that and the two FCS vs. FBS contests on Saturday.

MATT’S CORNER

🔥 Army at East Carolina

ECU -5.5 Total 52.5

7:30 PM ET

The Pirates are home favorites after getting blasted by BYU last Saturday. They are 2-2 on the season with wins over Campbell and Coastal Carolina, but it's never easy to prepare for the triple option on a short week. Last year they lost 45-28 to Army and 34-20 to Navy in their two contests against the Armed Forces. The Black Knights are coming off a tough OT loss to North Texas which is their second extra period defeat this season. This one feels like an over with both teams taking advantage of vulnerable defenses. Army's drives will take longer, but ECU should be able to find some success on the ground.
