COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Florida Atlantic is 3-1 and has won three straight, with 30.0 points per game and 299.8 passing yards per game powering the offense. The defense has been looser, allowing 30.8 points and 426.5 yards per game, so the Owls have not built their results on shutdown play. Texas Southern has no team statistics listed in the provided football data, which makes the market heavily dependent on the size of the talent gap rather than a full statistical profile. That creates a spot where the favorite can win comfortably while still leaving room for the underdog to stay inside a very large number.
Florida Atlantic should control the game, but the spread is large enough that Texas Southern has value as the points side. The Owls have the better offense and should be able to move the ball, yet their defense has allowed enough production to keep a cover from being automatic. Projected final score: Florida Atlantic Owls 38, Texas Southern Tigers 14.
