1st week of college football, best week of the year.
FAU on the road against major teams past 4 years and ATS results.
1-9 ATS. Combined -105 points ATS.
Date
Sept 8 2007 @ OK ST +25 6-42 (-11 ATS)
Sept 29 2007 @ UK +24 17-45 (-4 ATS)
Nov 17 2007 @ UF +34 20-59 (-5 ATS)
Aug 30 2008 @ UT +28 10-52 (-14 ATS)
Sept 13 2008 @ MSU +18.5 0-17 (+1.5 ATS) (very rainy, sloppy game, ugliest cover ever lol)
Sept 20 2008 @ Minn +6 3-37 (-28 ATS)
Sept 5 2009 @ Neb +24 3-49 (-22 ATS)
Sept 19 2009 @ South Car. +20.5 16-38 (-1.5 ATS)
Oct 2 2010 @ USF +21.5 3-31 (-6.5 ATS)
Nov 20 2010 @ UT +21.5 17-51 (-12.5 ATS)
Line exactly the same as FAU @ UF in 2007. UF finished that season 9-4.
FAU was much better team in 2007 than now. Finished 8-5 and arguably strongest team in school history, almost definitely strongest offense in team history. UF won 59-20.
2011 ... FAU lost top FOUR wide receivers from last year, also lost Rob Housler, now NFL tight end. Very solid one year successor to Rusty Smith, Jeff Van Camp is gone. New starting QB is a scrub. One of worst run defenses in country. Once this one hits 0-21, FAU will go conservative just and just try to get a field goal on the board; and start to look forward to opening of their new on-campus football stadium in October.
UF had a rough year last year. The reality of post-Tebow took some adjusting to but they finished strong with a good win/ATS cover against Penn State in their bowl game. They will regain stride this year under Will Muschamp and Charlie Weis.
FAU will not be able to move the ball in the Swamp after losing so many crucial parts of their offense, especially against an SEC defense filled with superior athletes. With no defense for FAU to fall back on, this game could get ugly. Fast. Charlie Weis will have no trouble picking apart a lower-level Sun Belt defense. 35 points will appear in a hurry.
Prediction: 45-6 UF
