Shula Bowl

Florida Atlantic University has a chance to continue their dominance over Florida International University in the Shula Bowl today. FAU took the game last year against the eventual conference champions. FIU comes in as 18.5 point favorites, but this could be the game FAU is able to put a victory on the board. FAU needs keep in check TY Hilton or this game could get ugly for FAU.

Last week Graham Wilbert saw all but one drive against Arkansas State. If Wilbert comes out struggles look for FAU to insert Redshirt Freshman Stephen Curtis. With a victory FAU could put FIU's bowl hopes in jeopardy. FIU is coming off a loss from the surprising Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

This could be the game FAU finds a victory, but I do not see that happening. FIU has the best player in the conference with TY Hilton. Hilton has a chance to score every time he touches the ball. FAU does keep the game close, but in the end FIU pulls away in the 4th quarter.

Prediction:

FIU 34 FAU 17
