UConn Huskies vs. FAU Owls Prediction

I’m on FAU and the points here. I think that the Huskies probably should be favored here and being an independent another win improves their stance in their bowl game. However, FAU needs a win here to keep their bowl hopes alive here as they need to win out and they also have capable QB play to be able to get hte job done. Give me the Owls and the points.
