Pick
This UTSA defense has some issues and that is bad news going against a team like FAU. UTSA gave up 88 points in the last game and they are going to really struggle to defend again in this game. Look for FAU to get over that 88 point mark and that will be enough for the Owls to get the job done. Back Florida Atlantic against the spread.
