FIU Panthers vs. Missouri State Bears Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I just think this is going to be a higher-scoring game as both teams offensively are built to exploit the other team’s weaknesses defensively. The Bears are great at airing out the footbal and FIU has trouble defensding the pass while the Panthers have balance across the board but there’s nowhere that Missouri State is really good defensively if we’re being honest. Give me the over in this one.
