</h2>
<p>
The two teams enter on contrasting notes. For FIU, the Panthers were stunned at home when a double-digit underdog Old Dominion up-ended the Panthers in its own stead. This result is likely influencing this market heavily. The Owls continue to look impressive and enter this feud on the heels of 48-23 victory against a typical Conference USA blue blood, Louisiana Tech.

Florida International Panthers at Florida Atlantic Owls Prediction
Rivalry games produce the unexpected. Thus, on many occasions you can throw out the point spread be that it is irrelevant to both participants in the contest. This is certainly the case here. For the first time perhaps in the history of this feud, the stakes may be more than just bragging rights. A win for Florida International keeps their C-USA East hopes alive if FAU were to stumble once again in their follow-up at Charlotte. For FAU, the Owls win the division if they knock off their arch nemesis. However, FAU is looking to avenge last year’s bitter defeat and there is no reason to suggest they won’t be able to do so. The amount of lumber that is required is questionable. After all, Florida International was spotting double digits last week and now they are taking back such a cushion this week. All because of one result. What we have here is a classic overreaction and sets up a prime fade opportunity against the Owls.
