Top FAU vs. UTSA predictions

After simulating UTSA vs. FAU 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under 72.5 points at betting apps. UTSA is seemingly two different teams at home versus on the road, with lower-scoring contests being the norm with the latter. The Under has hit in three of four road games for it, as the Roadrunners' contests average 46 points in away matchups, compared to 73 points at home.

The last four matchups between these squads haven't approached this number as they've averaged 50.3 points. Meanwhile, FAU has become turnover-happy as of late, with six giveaways over its last three games after going four straight without a turnover. With that trend, drives end up in the opponent's hands instead of ending with points on the scoreboard, which contributes to the model backing the Under. It projects 63 combined points as the Under connects 71% of the time in an A-rated pick. See the model's FAU vs. UTSA spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.

In addition to going Under on the total, the model also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
