Florida Atlantic vs UAB Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a 2-3 record on the season, but FAU will have the home field advantage. The Owls are coming off of a win over Rice in their last game and their defense played much better than they did in the previous two games. UAB’s only win this year came against Akron and they have one of the worst defenses in the FBS. I know Veltkamp has had some turnover issues, but he can really sling the ball around and I think he will have a huge day here. Take FAU to cover at home.
