Through 3 Quarters
The Florida Atlantic Owls and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have showed up to the matchup, but their offenses sure haven't. Florida Atlantic and the Hilltoppers are deadlocked at 3-3 after three quarters, promising an exciting conclusion. A victory for WKU would counteract both their recent loss and Florida Atlantic's recent win.
Florida Atlantic has yet to string together two consecutive wins, but this may be their chance. We'll see if they can pull it off.
Who's Playing
Western Kentucky @ Florida Atlantic
Current Records: Western Kentucky 2-5; Florida Atlantic 2-1
What to Know
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Florida Atlantic Owls and are hoping to record their first win since Oct. 29 of 2016. WKU is on the road again Saturday and plays against Florida Atlantic at 6 p.m. ET Nov. 7 at FAU Stadium. The Owls should still be feeling good after a big victory, while WKU will be looking to right the ship.
The night started off rough for WKU last week, and it ended that way, too. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 41-10 punch to the gut against the BYU Cougars. WKU was down 38-10 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. No one had a standout game offensively for the Hilltoppers, but TE Joshua Simon led the way with one touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Owls took their contest against the UTSA Roadrunners last week by a conclusive 24-3 score.
WKU is expected to lose this next one by 7. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 0-2-1 ATS when expected to lose.
Western Kentucky's loss took them down to 2-5 while Florida Atlantic's victory pulled them up to 2-1. We'll see if the Hilltoppers can steal Florida Atlantic's luck or if Florida Atlantic records another win instead.
