Week 8 Wednesday games feature FIU vs. Sam Houston
By this point, you probably know way more about Conference USA than you ever expected to, but maybe that’s a good thing as we get FIU vs. Sam Houston State and New Mexico State vs. UTEP on Wednesday night. The new-look conference that lost six teams to the AAC has followed fellow Group of Five conferences like the MAC and Sun Belt to play some Tuesday and Wednesday games to get exposure for the league and a piece of the very lucrative TV deals.
FIU and Sam Houston head to CBS Sports Network, but NMSU and UTEP are on ESPN2 in the late game, so you’ll get to watch as much of these two games as your heart desires.

FIU Panthers at Sam Houston State Bearkats (-5.5, 39.5)
If Sam Houston State is going to win a game in Year 1 as a FBS program against a fellow FBS program, this would appear to be the best chance. The Bearkats do still have a home game against 2024 Conference USA member Kennesaw State on the schedule, so that might be the best crack at a win of any kind, but this is the biggest favorite role of the season for the ‘kats to date.
