Western Kentucky at Florida International

These teams have both had disappointing finishes down the stretch. Western Kentucky opened with promise at 2-2, but has since dropped seven straight games. Florida International has been equally bad as they enter this one having lost four of their last five games. They are coming off what has to be their worst loss of the season as they blew two leads of 14 points in the fourth quarter a week ago and dropped the game in OT. That game has had to leave this Golden Panther team depleted mentally, physically, and emotionally. It is hard to imagine them playing with much energy in this one, as at 4-7 there is no Bowl game, and after a game like that against a 2-9 opponent, they are glad to see the curtain come down on this season. Despite the Panthers offensive explosion a week ago, this is not a big-offensive team. Both teams are, in a sense, mirror images of each other. For a Panther team that just came out of an emotional devastating loss with nothing to play for, I'll give the edge to Western Kentucky here with the points.
