Florida International Panthers vs. Sam Houston Bearkats Analysis
The Florida International Panthers got off to such a nice start to the season, with three wins in their first four games. Since their last win, though, the Panthers have scored just a total of 37 points in three straight losses. On the season, the offense is one of the worst in the country, with just 19.7 points per game.
Both the passing game and the rushing game have struggled big time. The passing game, led by quarterback Keyone Jenkins, is averaging nearly 230 yards per game, while the run game is at 105.1 yards per game. Florida International averaged over 26 points per game in their three early season wins.
The FIU Panthers standings in the conference is not pretty. The Panthers and Bearkats are the lone teams left in Conference USA without a conference win. Following this game, the Panthers have a home game against Jacksonville State.
Bearkats’ Season Struggles
The Bearkats of Sam Houston State have yet to win a game all season. In the first three games of the season, the offense scored just a total of 10 points. In the last three, they have been better with 57 points. The three losses early in the season were to Brigham Young, Air Force, and Houston.
Looking at their college football players, we can see that their offense does not do much well. The run game is one of the worst in all of College Football, with 69.3 yards per game. John Gentry is the lead running back but has yet to score a touchdown. Quarterback Keegan Shoemaker has six passing touchdowns, with three of them coming to Noah Smith.
The Sam Houston Bearkats schedule shows they have three straight home games, and this is the first. In the next two weeks, they will take on UTEP and Kennesaw State.
Florida International Panthers vs. Sam Houston Bearkats Betting Picks
We have to be honest here. This is going to be a really ugly College Football game. A team with three wins is an underdog to a team that has yet to win a game all season.
Not only have they not won a game, they are losing by an average of 13.5 points per game. Can either team score in this game? The defenses have not been bad, so look for another low-scoring game here.
In the end, it’s hard to take the favorite and five points, so betting Florida International as the underdog at +5 is the betting pick to make. We hope you enjoyed our FIU vs Sam Houston betting picks!
