FAU is 17-7-2 ATS in their last 26 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.
Pick
I’m leaning towards the over here. I think FAU will be able to get a lot going on the offensive end, and I just don’t trust UTSA to be able to slow the Owls down. On the other end, UTSA’s been picking up the scoring in recent games and I think this is a spot where we can back the over with some level of confidence.
