Pick
I’m backing FAU here. Sure, we keep seeing steep numbers with FAU, but more often than not, this team is scoring enough to get us near the cover, it’s just a matter of shoring up the defense and getting the stops necessary to cover the numbers as well. LA Tech has performed well in spots, but they’ve had trouble making the step up in spots and I think this game could be another trouble spot for the Bulldogs. I’ll lay the points with FAU here.
