The matchup
Florida Atlantic has rattled off four straight wins to open the current run: a 66-10 blowout of the Texas Southern Tigers, a 45-17 win over the UL Monroe Warhawks, a tight 16-10 decision against the FIU Panthers, and a 38-30 win over the Navy Midshipmen. Before that stretch, the Owls dropped their opener 21-66 to the Florida Gators. The Owls have outscored opponents 186-133 on the season.
Army's road to 3-2 has been bumpier. The Black Knights beat the Tulane Green Wave 20-17 most recently, but that followed a 29-31 loss to the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Earlier in the year Army topped the Temple Owls 21-17, lost 24-28 to the South Florida Bulls, and opened with a 59-3 win over the Bryant Bulldogs. Army has outscored its opponents 153-96 this season.
The pick
The betting market has Army as a 2.5-point favorite with a total of 54.5, and the market score sits at Army Black Knights 29, Florida Atlantic Owls 26. That lines up with a team riding momentum at home against a visitor that's won four straight but hasn't faced a schedule like this stretch yet. Nothing here is a lock, just the market's read on a tight one.
