Florida International vs. Eastern Kentucky

The Eastern Kentucky Colonels found themselves in the postseason a year ago with an impressive 25-win season. They won't get to 25 this season, but it is a program in good hands, and they won't drop all that far. Florida International won 18 games a year ago, and may find themselves in a similar spot this season, but they simply don't play night in and night out to the same level of competition as the Colonels. Eastern Kentucky has had success facing Sun Belt teams, failing to cover just one of their last five, and should be able to grab a comfortable win here in their opener. Play on Eastern Kentucky.
