College Football Week 7 Odds, Picks & Predictions: UTSA vs. FIU
UTSA (-33.5) @ FIU & OVER 63.5
We are picking on FIU again but picking against FIU and picking UTSA has been pretty good to me for a while now, so I love both sides. UTSA is a highly efficient offensive team. They have scored at least 31 points in four of five games, with the only game under that being against Texas. FIU has allowed 30 or more points in four of five games and, on average, has allowed opponents to score 17 points more than they average per game. UTSA is averaging 37.3 PPG so that would put them at 54 points, and at that point, we are just asking for FIU to score 10 points to get to our total.
FIU has won two games, but they beat New Mexico State, which might be one of the very few FBS teams that are actually worse than them, and Bryant, an FCS opponent that is currently at 2-4. FIU ranks 99th or lower in passing, rushing, and scoring defense. UTSA is a pass-heavy team, but FIU let Western Kentucky run for 210 yards against them in the blowout loss. They average fewer rushing yards than UTSA, even with that game included.
This game is on a Friday, which means both teams have less time to prepare. This also favors UTSA, which has brought back a lot of experience. This isn't a look-ahead week for the Roadrunners either, as they have North Texas at home next week. As I'm writing this, there is about a 40% chance of rain which I don't think will really affect the outcome. UTSA has experience and continuity while FIU is rebuilding. I feel like the final score is going to be similar to the WKU game for FIU, and the Roadrunners win in an absolute beatdown!
Pick: UTSA -33.5 (-110) and OVER 63.5 (-110)
