The Florida Atlantic Owls are obviously the better, more talented team, and that win at Florida still sticks out. However, it’s not often decent teams go to Albany. It’s usually the Great Danes have to travel and prove themselves. FAU isn’t a Kentucky or Michigan State, but this is still a respectable home game for Albany. I expect a decent crowd and for the players to be up for this one. Give me the points.
