RJ’s take: Derek Mason will take the field as a head coach for the first time since he left Vanderbilt, another Tennessee school that takes great pleasure in emptying your pockets like Middle Tennessee State did Miami in 2022.

He’s got a star in 6-foot-4 tight end Holden Willis, who does most of his work in the slot. He averaged 15.2 yards per catch and made 46 of them in 2023.

Middle Tennessee State’s Win Total Odds: Over 5 (-115) Under 5 (-115)
