FAU vs FIU Picks and Prediction
Florida Atlantic heads into their matchup against FIU riding high after posting an explosive offensive performance in their game from last week. Their confidence will be tested on the road as they take on a FIU team desperate to bounce back after a tough outing last weekend. FIU struggled mightily, failing to score any points in a lopsided loss to powerhouse Penn State, currently ranked second in the nation. Looking to move past that disappointing shutout, FIU will be eager to put up a much stronger showing in front of their home crowd and avoid a repeat of last week's result. Final Score Prediction, Florida Atlantic Owls win 36-30.
