Wagner vs. Florida Atlantic Prediction

The Florida Atlantic Owls get the benefit of the doubt because they are the FBS team playing an FCS team, but I don’t buy that opinion. FAU has no passing attack to speak of and can’t finish drives, and the Owls’ defense is 133rd against the run. Florida Atlantic just lost 48-14 to UCONN last week, a game that was almost a pick-em all week. Even if Wagner doesn’t do anything to get things moving, I don’t see FAU scoring more than 30 points regardless of the matchup. Give me the points if you’re forced to choose.
