Florida International vs UTSA Prediction


In this Florida International vs UTSA Prediction, UTSA is coming as -6-point favorites. UTSA had a worse record than FIU, with one win less and were just 2-4 away from home this season. They are just 4-4 in their last 8 games and 4-5 against the spread in their last 9, while on the other hand, FIU is coming off four consecutive wins and have covered the spread in all four. UTSA has a better offense, while FIU has a better defense, so I expect a much closer game than the line indicates. Take FIU and get the +6 points in this one.
