Charlotte vs FAU Betting Pick
Charlotte will return veteran Chris Reynolds as the dual-threat QB will look to improve on last season. Reynolds has a big group of receivers to throw to as Grant DuBose, Victor Tucker and Elijah Spencer all return this year. As does the top three rushers and four of their five offensive lineman. Defensively, the 49ers lost three of their top four tacklers from last season but do return the main sack man Markees Watts. The defense could be a problem for this 49ers team.
N’Kosi Perry is back as he looks to settle in during his second season under center. Perry will rely on LaJohntay Wester, Je’Quan Burton and Johnny Ford from the skill positions. The offensive line returns four of their five starters from a mediocre group last season. Defensively, the Owls are going to struggle, but should be led by the LB core of Jamie Pettway, Morven Joseph, Eddie Williams and Chris Jones Opposing offenses will be able to throw all over this secondary.
Series History: FAU has won three straight meetings and now lead the all-time series 5-2.
