The set-up: ODU is coming off a 37-35 road loss to ECU last Saturday and I think it'll stumble here as well after that disheartening setback. FAU is looking to bounce back after a 25-24 loss to MTSU on the road, its second straight setback.

The teams: The Monarchs enter averaging 27.8 PPG and allowing 36. QB Steven Williams is 41 of 81 for 507 yards with two TD's and two INT's, while Blake LaRussa has 928 yards with seven TD's and one INT.

FAU has lost two straight. Overall the Owls are averaging 31.2 PPG and allowing 39.8. QB Chris Robison has 1,077 passing yards with five TD's so far this year as swell as six INT's and another 118 rushing yards and a major score. Devin Singletary leads the ground game 459 yards and 12 TD's already.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but ODU is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven against teams with losing records, while FAU is 5-1 ATS in its last six after posting less then 170 passing yards in its previous contest. FAU destroyed ODU 58-28 on the road last year and I'm expecting a similar sort of blowout here as well. Lay the points.
