Draft Kings has FAU as a 3pt favorite for now 🥲

What is the forum point spread or expected score - we beat them here in 2018 in a high scoring affair 41-38.  Can we do that again ?
Looks like QB Perry to WR Wester is the combo we need to stuff as the team has 21 total TDs, Perry to Wester have 7.
They avg 32.6 pts a game on 21 TDs 
We avg 32.2 pts a game on 20 TDs 

Overall if you look at the top players for each team there is little difference. If you rate difficulty of schedule we played SMU, UNLV and Memphis and they played UCF (got hammered as expected) and Purdue and almost won that one.

Whether on the scoreboard, or in our hearts, I believe we will win. 
 

In all seriousness, I think we win.  Not tongue in cheek, I think the team is primed for a complete game.  No better time than conference play!  GMG!

Not sure about college but in the NFL, Vegas usually gives the home team 3 points. For example, if you believe FAU is 7 points better but they're at home, the starting spread will be FAU -10. If it were in Denton, the spread goes down to -4. Essentially here, they're calling FAU to be about 6 points, or about 1 touchdown, better but because it's in Denton, UNT gets a 3 point benefit so it's -3 for FAU.

No changes really - we are still a 3 to 3.5 dog here at home - remember it’s customary to usually get 3 points as the home team - We are getting the Rodney Dangerfield treatment and I guess rightly so till we prove ourselves - or lay an egg and prove them right.
