2022 C-USA Championship & Total Wins Forecast for FAU Football

Post

Western Kentucky +350
FAU +800

How?  Didn't WKU lose basically all their talent to draft and transfer?

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

There's some good players on this team especially with the transfers that came in this year.  I think 8 wins and a bowl game! Anything less would be a disappointing season IMO!

The Ohio game opened at 1 point, then got as high as 4 because it was bet in that direction.

The game was lost by three points. In all realty that's just a 4 point difference over what the outcome was forecast to be.

Just so it it out there, here are the probabilities for the rest of the season:

Five wins (SELA, FIU, Rice, MTSU, UTEP)
Three losses (Purdue 85%, UCF 81%, UAB 77%)
Two 50-50 games (WKU, UNT)

This means we would likely finish between 6-6 to 8-4 if things were to go as "expected".

 I hope we finish 7-5…I'm starting to think it will be another 5-7.

Go Owls!

Same. At the very least it’s gonna come down to whether or not we get to a bowl game for Taggart to keep his job and next week’s game at UNT will set the tone for the rest of the season. If we go into the bye week 3-3 (2-0) I’ll feel a lot better about our chances

Is UNT bad this year or something? Also, I think WKU isn’t as scary as people think.

Getting ready to post the capsule…they aren't "bad" but they don't have a passer by any means and have challenges defensively…run game is decent (they use a lot of guys) but they give up more yards than they earn in the end.
