Randy’s Pick
The FAU Owls look like a team that's given up the season, as they've lost 3 straight games, and they've scored a combined 15 points in their last 2 points. The Rice Owls have been inconsistent all year, but they're coming off a big win over Charlotte, and they're a win away from becoming bowl eligible. Motivation on the home team's side here. Give me Rice by a touchdown.
