Florida International at Western Kentucky

Life was painful at Western Kentucky when they started the transition into the FBS in 2008. The first three years saw this team go 3-33 straight-up in their first three campaigns. They began a move forward in 2011 by winning seven games, and have had a winning team since. Former Louisville QB Jeff Brohm took over in 2014 and the program took another leap forward, as they are 26-10 with two Bowl wins and another Bowl bid has been secured this year. The Hilltoppers' passing game is elite at 9.9 yards per attempt, and the offense has really gotten it going at 51.4 points per game the last five contests. FIU is 45-97 SU lifetime in the FBS, and has never really gotten things going. The fact is they are just 10-56 SU vs. a team that is .440 or better all-time and 25-39-2 ATS vs. those teams. They have a worse than average pass defense, and their passing offense is also far below average. They will likely be playing from behind, and having to throw the ball is not in their best interest. This will be a blowout, so make the play on Western Kentucky.
