RJ's take: After finishing 3-9 in 2023, maybe Biff Poggi will wear sleeves. He's certainly cleaned up the roster’s image with former Florida QB Max Brown, former Iowa State running back Cartevious Norton and Khafre Brown.

Max Brown nearly led an upset of Cotton Bowl champ Missouri last year. Norton has great potential to be a 1,000-yard back and Khafre Brown averaged more than 16 yards per catch at USF last year.

Charlotte's Win Total Odds: Over 3.5 (-125) Under 3.5 (-105)
