SourcePick Ideas
FIU +3
FIU +3 is a lean because its defensive results support a one-score road game; avoid a worse number without confirming the latest line.
Under 43.5 points
Under 43.5 is a lean, particularly if FIU’s offense cannot turn possessions into touchdowns; reassess if the total falls materially or late availability news alters either offense.
