5* Sun Belt Conference GOTY on FAU +3 The FAU Owls beat Middle Tennessee 27-14 a season ago and return 19 of 22 starters on both sides of the ball from that team. After getting beaten up on at Texas, Michigan State, and Minnesota in the early going, expect the Owls to really bust out against a weaker opponent here - just like they did against UAB in week 2. FAU went 6-1 in Sun Belt play last season, winning the league, and I fully expect this team to repeat with Offensive Player of the Year Rusty Smith under center. The Blue Raiders are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 conference games while the Owls are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 conference games. The Owls are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. FAU's offense averaged over 30ppg and over 400 yards last season. Now that the Owls are coming up against some weaker competition, they'll start to rack up the points and the wins. Take the points.
