FAU vs. St. Bonaventure Prediction
I’m on the over here. I’ve been truly impressed with what I’ve seen from both of these teams so far this season and this just feels like a high-scoring affair where both teams could easily get into the 80s. I think this one’s going to be a track meet so give me the over here.
