The Florida Atlantic Owls and Rice Owls will have a battle of the birds on Saturday night in Houston. Rice is 3-2 to start the season and could get a huge win for their bowl eligibility hopes with a win in this contest over a struggling FAU team. Here, I have broken down this game from all angles and you can keep reading to get my Florida Atlantic vs Rice prediction.
Florida Atlantic's Caden Veltkamp has faced challenges this season. He has eight touchdown passes and seven interceptions on the season. This inconsistency has hindered the team's ability to execute their offense effectively.
Rice's quarterback Chase Jenkins has attempted just 13.8 passes per game going into this contest. He isn't asked to do a lot through the air. But Rice will still count on him to make plays in the passing game when needed.
Florida Atlantic's problems on defense should continue in this game against Rice. In this battle of the Owls, I'll go with Rice to cover the number in this matchup. Look for Rice to force mistakes from Veltkamp and for Rice to improve to 4-2 on the season and move to within two victories of bowl eligibility with half of the regular season left to play.
