What to Know
The FAU Owls will hit the road to start this year’s campaign against the Michigan State Spartans. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Spartan Stadium.
This game could come down to rushing yards, as neither team did well in that area last year. FAU were ranked 110th in the nation, having averaged an unimpressive 115.4 per game. Michigan State, meanwhile, were ranked 127th with 89.5 per game.
Looking back to last season, FAU will look to improve upon their 4-8 record. Similarly, Michigan State finished with a dismal 4-8 also record.
FAU is hoping to beat the odds on Friday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 3-7-2 record against the spread.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for FAU considering the team was a sub-par 1-6 as the underdog last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 12 games they played last year would have netted $361.20. Michigan State will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 2-0 as such last season.
Odds
