FIU has a big game this week against what appears to be a VERY good Central Florida team that crushed Boston College last week. I'm anxious to see how the Panthers do in that one!!

It could be that ul will be the only sun belt win this weekend

To beat Nicholls State, you use your MMA training to pummel them into a bloody heap of useless tackling dummies, and when Hud it is just about time to call of the dogs in the second half, he orders Johnson to finish them off and SWEEP THE LEG!!!!!!.


No mercy.

FIU will have serious problems against the Knights. Jeff Godfrey is a beast.

UL -24.5

Wow. When was the last time we were more than 3 TD favorites? As much as I'd like to see a 45-3 pasting of Nicholls, what have we done offensively to be 24.5 point favorites against anybody? That being said, I could envision a 300 yard rushing night, and of course, the weekly pick 6 getting it done. I hope we cover the spread, but more importantly, let's go get a win!!

While I would love nothing better than to come out blazing and post 40+ points, I don't see it happening with our offense in its early season funk. As adamant as I was last week about easily taking UL and the points as I felt they would win, I'm not buying that we will cover that spread. I'd love nothing more than to be wrong but I don't think we're there yet with the offense to warrant such a spread.
