Florida Atlantic vs FIU Game Preview
Why FIU Will Win
FIU has lost a few tough games, and the defense might be having some problems, but the offense is starting to play well enough to keep up against almost anyone in Conference USA.

This is always a weird rivalry game that seems to defy expectations, but the Owls should be in control of this after the first quarter.
