FAU vs Tulsa Prediction
Tulsa is a subpar team that’s been an underdog in four of its last six games, so I don’t understand the love here. Tulsa is coming off a blowout win over Tulane, but who cares. FAU has had issues on the road, but it’s one of the best offenses in the country and just lit UTSA on fire in a huge upset win. FAU is 21st in total offense and ninth in scoring offense. The running game should also have success against a Tulsa squad that’s 120th in rush defense. Maybe a letdown spot for FAU, or maybe the road struggles continue.
This is still a winnable game for the Owls, who have simply had better showings overall and are far more explosive. There’s higher upside with FAU. I’ll grab the points with FAU and would consider betting the ML as well.
