NCAA football betting<\/strong>: FIU Golden Panthers @ Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin\u2019 Cajuns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Online Betting Odds: FIU -10<\/p>\n

Why To Bet On Florida International<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2001, the FIU program didn\u2019t even exist. Now, coach Mario Cristobal\u2019s program is two wins away from a conference championship. Moreover, that\u2019s just half of the story. What\u2019s 100 times more remarkable than FIU\u2019s rise over the past several years is the way in which the Golden Panthers have now arrived on the brink of a remarkable and highly improbable crown in the Sun Belt. This program hasn\u2019t just covered a lot of terrain in an existence that\u2019s not even a decade old; it is nearing the winner\u2019s circle in its own corner of the country because it beat the big dog of the neighborhood on its own front porch.<\/p>\n

The Troy Trojans ruled the Sun Belt with distinction over the past four years. Coach Larry Blakeney\u2019s bunch won the league three times and tied Florida Atlantic in 2007. This past Saturday, Troy stood on its home field against an FIU crew that was 3-5 overall. The odds were very much on Troy\u2019s side as Nov. 13 arrived.<\/p>\n

So much for odds and percentages, though. Florida International moved to first place in the Sun Belt (4-1) with surprising ease. FIU hung 31 points on the board in the second quarter to take a 38-21 halftime lead. The Golden Panthers rolled up \u2013 get this \u2013 668 yards on the shellshocked Trojans\u2019 incapacitated defense. Troy coughed up four turnovers to just one for FIU in a 52-35 win for the Golden Panthers. You never would have thought that FIU was the newbie on the block, looking to prove itself on the road. Similarly, you never would have thought that Troy was the veteran team (minus the quarterback spot) defending its two straight Sun Belt titles.<\/p>\n

Florida International is for real. This team is confident and playing well at the right time.<\/p>\n

Why To Bet On Louisiana-Lafayette<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, FIU is leading the Sun Belt, but the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns can put up a good fight. One of the main problems this year for Lafayette and coach Rickey Bustle has been a combination of inconsistency and injuries at the quarterback spot. ULL has used three signal callers, and that\u2019s been a main source of the team\u2019s recent difficulties. A six-game losing streak will indeed unfold when a full complement of skill-position players isn\u2019t able to develop a strong rapport with one field general. The hope in this game for Louisiana-Lafayette is that Blaine Gauthier, the No. 3 quarterback on the team but the starter last week against Florida Atlantic, will be fully settled into the offense. Gauthier actually was pretty solid against FAU, completing just over 56 percent of his passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns with only one interception. After absorbing a couple of blowout losses, ULL dropped a 24-23 decision to Florida Atlantic. In a parity-filled Sun Belt \u2013 a conference in which no team has fewer than four losses overall \u2013 a strong game from Gauthier could very easily lift ULL to victory.<\/p>\n

How The Game Will Play Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

Florida International is overflowing with confidence right now. The Golden Panthers can smell a league title, and the fact that they won by 17 at Troy \u2013\u00a0the two-time defending league champion \u2013\u00a0should make this road game quite manageable for them. Take FIU minus the points, even on the road.<\/p>\n
