Week Eight is here and FAU is still searching for the first win of the season. Correct FEARLESS PREDICTIONS have been hard to come by this year with the Owls struggling to put points on the board. Here we go with this week's FEARLESS PREDICTIONS.
WKU vs. ULL 10/22
In what is clearly the Mascot Bowl of the SBC, and maybe the best mascot matchup in the country, the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky (2-4, 2-1) play host to rising star Louisiana (6-1, 4-0). The Ragin' Cajuns look to have a strangle hold on the SBC and they are all but guaranteed to go bowling with a win this weekend. Louisiana will be too much to handle as they bring a strong offense in against the 106th ranked scoring defense in the country. I think WKU plays up early in this one, but the Cajuns get it done in the second half.
FEARLESS PREDICTION: Louisiana 34 WKU 17
FAU vs. MTSU 10/22
The Owls (0-6, 0-3) look to bounce back after a tough loss last week against WKU. FAU has not been able to do much to get the offense going. The Owls' best performance came against Auburn in week three of the season. Since that time FAU has struggled to move of the ball both on the ground and in the air. The Owls are averaging an anemic 11 points per game. Senior RB Alfred Morris has only 389 yards on the ground in what he hoped would be a return to his sophomore form. Unfortunately Morris has not had the O-line help or the passing threat on offense to help him return to a 1200+ yard season. MTSU has one of the nation's top 20 passing offenses and the Raiders can score in bunches when the offense is clicking. They also give up points in bunches as well with the 114th ranked defense. FAU should be able to score not because of offensive potency, but due to an inept defense on behalf of MTSU. I see FAU putting up a fight and just maybe squeaking out a win in unimpressive fashion.
FEARLESS PREDICTION: FAU 24 MTSU 21
Keep your heads up Owl fans. We have two things going for us; the best stadium in the SBC and a team that gives us a good excuse to drink. Cheers to the Owls.
GO OWLS!!!

MTSU 14
Let's hope I'm wrong. Would have been FAU 3, MTSU 14 if Wilbert wasn't starting. I figure by now he's good for at least 1 TD.

I will seriously give odds on this if anybody wants to message me.
I will also put the over/under at 15 on the amount of times Wilbert throws a pass and you mutter "what the hell was that?" Basically he will go 16 for 20 on "what the hell was that?" passes.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
