Sam Houston State struggled in the last game, but don’t let that fool you, they are the much better team in this game. I am not sold on this FIU defense and they are going to really struggle to defend in this game. The Bearkats are averaging 29.3 points per game but they are going to go well over that number here. FIU won’t be keeping up, and Sam Houston State will get the job done. Back Sam Houston State against the spread.
