Shane’s Free Pick
This total is too high. FIU’s defense is going to step up, and I am still not sold on Jacksonville State’s offense. Jacksonville State’s defense is giving up only 19.1 points, and they're going to lockdown again in this game. FIU is coming off a game where they scored 33 points, but in this game they are going to struggle to get to even 17 points. This game is going to be lower scoring and the under is going to cash.
