FIU vs Delaware Prediction
FIU comes into this matchup after a nice win over Missouri State last week, but they have dropped three of their last four games. The Panthers have been inconsistent on offense, but their defense has been solid for the most part. Delaware has lost three of their last five, but Minicucci is a very solid quarterback. The Blue Hens have allowed 30+ points in four of their last five games, but they have scored at least 30 points in four straight. Take the over here.

Positive Trends
We don’t have many trends pointing to the over in this one, but I am still going with it. We do have the two trends listed above in our favor and this Delaware team has been playing in some very high scoring games. The Blue Hens have had at least 55 points in four straight games and their defense can’t be trusted. FIU has been up and down offensively this year, but I think they will be able to move the ball. Take the over here.
