UTEP football is still seeking its first victory as it heads to a formidable Western Kentucky team heading off a bye week. The Miners don't outwardly appear to be taking much momentum into the game, though coach Scotty Walden thinks his team has made steady progress in the 0-5 start.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. It has generated a profit of over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks since inception, and is 8-4 on top-rated college football picks over the past two weeks of this season. Anyone who has followed it has seen strong returns.

Conference USA takes the national spotlight this week, and on Thursday night, the UTEP Miners travel to Bowling Green to take on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Can Scotty Walden’s team get their first victory of the year,
