Get ready for Friday night football as the South Florida Bulls (3-1) clash with the Charlotte 49ers (1-3) in a Week 6 AAC matchup! The Bulls, fresh off a dominant 63-14 victory over South Carolina State, are looking to continue their winning ways against a Charlotte team that stumbled against Rice. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
South Florida: A Force to Be Reckoned With
The USF Bulls have been turning heads this season, starting with a stunning upset over Boise State. Quarterback Byrum Brown is a key player to watch, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities with both passing yards and rushing touchdowns. The Bulls' defense has also been impressive, holding opponents to under 16 points in three of their four games.
Charlotte's Uphill Battle
Charlotte, on the other hand, is looking to find its footing under head coach Tim Albin. The 49ers have struggled to generate consistent offense and face a tough challenge against a strong USF defense. This will be their first true road game of the year.
Betting Odds and Predictions
South Florida is heavily favored in this matchup, with a significant point spread. The over/under is set at 54.5 points. According to SportsLine Projection Model, this game could get ugly quickly. USF is simply the better team here and should be able to bully the 49ers in the Tampa humidity. Charlotte's offense lacks the firepower to show anything different.
Expert Picks:
- Spread: USF -27.5
- Over/Under: Under 54.5
- Prediction: USF 37, Charlotte 10
