The two teams enter on two-game losing streaks. Both outfits have not been on the court for a week either, so the two ensembles are well-rested. Both sides also enter off two-game road trips to comprise their respective skids. Overall, both the Owls and Panthers have not fared well outside of their respective homes. Despite FIU suffering some losses, they have been a cash cow against the spread as they have successfully covered in their last five markets.

Florida International at Florida Atlantic Prediction 02/17/2018
Anytime we see the public take a dog; we have to take a closer look be that the behavior in itself is rare. The Panthers have been very profitable against the spread and own the most recent in this rivalry that in itself entices plenty of action when points accompany FIU. However, the Panthers have are more prone to being undervalued because of this. The fact remains that Florida International when they are away from home, has played terribly. When you toss in that they are facing an arch nemesis in what will undoubtedly be a hostile environment, this is the perfect to time to sell on FIU. Swallow the points.

Take Florida Atlantic -2.5 (KF)
