A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the FAU and Rice game.
Florida Atlantic is really struggling heading into this game, and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago, against FIU, they scored 28 points, but the defense gave up 38 points. In the last game against Memphis, FAU scored 26 points, but the defense gave up 55 points. The offense has been fine, but the defense has been an issue, and that is going to need to be cleaned up in a big way. Running back Caden Veltkamp had a huge game, completing 31 of his 50 passes for 318 yards. He was also the top rusher finishing with eight carries for 28 yards and a touchdown.
FAU on the season is averaging 29.2 points while their defense is giving up 36.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 73rd while the defense is ranked 127th. We know this team can score, it all just comes down to if the defense can make the stops.
Rice has been up and down this season but they are coming off a loss in the last game .Rice faced off against a good Navy team, and the defense wasn’t awful, but the offense only managed 13 points, and that led to the eight point defeat. Chase Jenkins is under center and he completed 12 of his 21 passes for 114 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Quinton Jackson also had a strong game finishing with 15 carries for 60 yards. In this game, they need to try and find a way to finish the drives.
Overall this season, Rice is averaging 20.4 points while thier defense is giving up 20.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 113th while the defense is ranked 50th. This really is a game they should win, and if they don’t some major questions are going to be asked about this team.
The Rice’s defense was good in the last game, even though they lost, I expect they can build on that again here. Rice is averaging 20.4 per game, but Chase Jenkins showed some signs of life. FAU’s defense is giving up 356.5 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Rice is going to score at least 30 points, and I think they can get closer to that 35 point mark. FAU is going to really struggle to get any sort of offense going here, and Rice is going to cruise. Back Rice to win and cover the spread.
