We've finally reached the end of season destination in college football. It's the grand finale of the regular season this week. But before we pencil in conference championships and future bowl matchups, lets look at our last under the radar matchups from Covers Expert Zack Cimini.
Team to Watch - UNLV Rebels
This Week: +3 @ Nevada Wolfpack
In-state rivalry matchups mean you can always toss out the records. That is the case Saturday as UNLV (5-6 SU) takes on Nevada (2-9 SU).
The obvious motivation for UNLV lies with the chance to secure a bowl game for the first time under Coach Tony Sanchez. To accomplish the feat the Rebels will rely on freshman quarterback Armani Rogers. Rogers returned from injury to lead the Rebels to victory in last week's 38-35 victory over New Mexico.
One has to wonder if jitters will play a role for the freshman Saturday.
Team to Beware - Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
This week: -2 vs UTSA Roadrunners
Another bowl opportunity lies Saturday as Louisiana Tech (5-6) aims to secure a spot. Their opponent, UTSA, already secured their sixth victory and bowl game appearance with a close 9-7 victory over Marshall last week.
With a bowl game appearance already locked up, UTSA has the weight off of their shoulders. That's an added bonus on the field against a Louisiana Tech team that has high pressure on their home field.
Having lost four of their last six games, it may be too little to late for the Bulldogs.
Total team - Appalachian State Mountaineers
This week O/U: 52 @ Georgia State Panthers
The reverse of top conference play seen by Appalachian State this year has been mind-boggling. They're 6-4 and have had to multiple deficits for some of their wins.
Georgia State has also had an up and down year. Quarterback Conner Manning and lethal wide receiver Penny Hart are as potent of a combo as there is in the Sun Belt.
From a total perspective Appalachian State gets their top tailback in Jalin Moore back from injury.
Furthermore, Georgia State will be well rested as they had a bye week last Saturday.
