How to watch Charlotte vs. Western Kentucky football game
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are 4-1 against the Charlotte 49ers since October of 2017, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. The Hilltoppers and Charlotte will face off in a Conference USA battle at noon ET at Jerry Richardson Stadium. The defensive coordinators will surely put in extra hours ahead of this matchup since these teams’ offenses combined for 965 yards last week.
Pride goes before the fall, and it seems WKU saw their 10-point advantage in the point spread and came into their game against the North Texas Mean Green with a big head. WKU has to be aching after a bruising 40-13 defeat to North Texas last week. No one had a standout game offensively for WKU, but they got one touchdown from QB Austin Reed.
Meanwhile, everything went the 49ers’ way against the Rice Owls last week as they made off with a 56-23 victory. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Charlotte had established a 49-17 advantage. Charlotte QB Chris Reynolds was slinging it as he passed for five TDs and 254 yards on 19 attempts. Reynolds hadn’t helped his team much against the FIU Panthers two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
This next game looks promising for the Hilltoppers, who are favored by a full 15.5 points. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
WKU is now 5-4 while Charlotte sits at 2-7. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: WKU comes into the game boasting the eighth most passing touchdowns in the nation at 23. But Charlotte is even better: they enter the game with 24 passing touchdowns, good for sixth best in the nation. We’ll see if that edge gives the 49ers a route to victory.
