UTSA vs Florida Atlantic Prediction

I’m not looking forward to scoring points with the UTSA Roadrunners, but they are at home where they have two wins and they have played four of their last six games as home favorites. The Florida Atlantic Owls continue to have problems defensively, and that cost them last week against North Texas, where they lost in the final minute. Such a loss can have a carryover effect. I’m fading FAU after last week’s result. Give me UTSA by a touchdown at home.
