Why the Florida Atlantic Owls will win

- Liberty has lost three of its last four night games.
- Florida Atlantic has won the first half in each of its last 12 games against non-AP-ranked opponents at a neutral venue.
Florida Atlantic vs Liberty Prediction
The Liberty Flames are off to a fine start and are getting after it defensively, but they haven’t quite had the toughest schedule. The FAU Owls still have talent from a year ago, and it’s likely only a matter of time before things start to turn around. This is a winnable game and FAU shoots well, Liberty doesn’t have the firepower to keep up. I like FAU to get a much-needed bounce-back victory.
