Here is the official betting preview of Florida Atlantic and Middle<\/st1:PLACENAME> Tennessee<\/st1:PLACENAME> State<\/st1:PLACETYPE><\/st1:PLACE>. The sportsbooks<\/a> have MTSU<\/span> as a 2-2.5 point favorite, with a total of 51. <\/p>\n

FAU<\/span> is 1-3 straight up, including 0-3 on the road. They are 2-2 against the spread and have gone over all three road contests. MTSU<\/span> is also 1-3 straight up, but 1-1 at home. They are likewise 2-2 against the spread and all four of their games have gone under. <\/p>\n

The Owls are 3-2 all-time straight up to the Red Raiders. We thought they were the Moccasins. FAU’s<\/span> quarterback Rusty Smith has thrown five interceptions against just four TDs<\/span>. The Owls have been smashed by a combined 54-3 in their last two games. Smith, the preseason Sun Belt Player of the Year has completed just 25 of his last 68 passes. <\/p>\n

Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com<\/a> <\/span>says that Smith and his supporting cast are capable of much more. “Most of the starting lineup for an offense that averaged 31.2 points per game last year is back.” <\/p>\n

MTSU<\/span> has not faired much better, giving up 31 points in each of their Sun Belt Conference contests. Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com<\/font><\/a> says that MTSU<\/span> has a very small and inexperienced offensive line. However, the Owls have shown no ability to stop mobile quarterbacks in the spread offense. <\/p>\n

Keep in mind that Middle Tennessee does hold a win over Maryland<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:STATE>, which was the Terrapins only setback in five games this year. <\/p>\n

Neither team is facing a short week, each having not played in 10 days. The top football betting service in America<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:COUNTRY-REGION> is GodsTips. They have a huge play on tonight’s game. Details are on the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
