Opening weekend of college football sees the 49ers and Owls meet at FAU Stadium.
The Owls are favored by 7.5 points in this matchup and we see a 59.5 showing on the total.
Charlotte 49ers
The 49ers are coming off a 5 – 7 campaign as Will Healy enters year 5 with the charlotte program this season.
Healy helped propel the 49ers to their first-ever bowl appearance in 2019, but the team is only 7 – 11 since and this could be one of those make or break year’s for the head coach. Luckily, Healy is getting 8 of his offensive starters back to hopefully left the program to their second bowl showing out of Conference USA.
It is strange to see a conference game being played this early, but Charlotte will get back to the non-conference schedule after this affair for their next 4 games before getting back to conference play. William & Mary is on deck next friday so that should be one helluva thriller that no one should miss!
I know, I will probably miss it too, but that’s okay because it might be where Charlotte picks up their first win of the 2022 campaign. FAU is loaded on offense too, so this should be quite the high-scoring affair in my opinion.
IF you recall, the 49ers lost their top-2 rushers going into last year but this time around they have their top-3 backs returning to the fray. Starting quarterback Chris Reynolds earned 3rd-Team All Conference USA honors last season, and he is confident that this offense will be able to move the ball and provide some points.
Florida Atlantic Owls
FAU is also bringing back 8 offensive starters this season including most of their offensive line again. Last year they brought back most of this unit but similarly this team was 5 – 7 along with the 49ers as these two programs mirror each other a bit.
The O-line is bringing back 125 starts and that is plenty of experience for N’Kosi Perry to rely on under center this season. Perry started all 12 games last season after a 3-year run at Miami so he is hoping to go out with a bang for his final season as a collegiate. Perry amounted a 20 – 7 TD to INT ratio a season ago and one thing that hurt him a ton was dropped balls time and time again.
Perry only struggled moving the ball in 2021 because his wide-outs couldn’t seem to catch a cold and it cost them more 3rd down conversions than they were hoping for. This year, the receiver position has been upgraded a bit with the addition of a pair of Florida State transfers.
Jordan Young (WR) and Carter Boatwright (TE) will hopefully bring some stability to the Owls offense so N’Kosi has some reliable targets to help move the chains.
Defense? Yeah, no thank you! This is going to be an issue for the Owls all season long and it’s why this total is near 60 to open the season at home.

4* Free Charlotte 49ers vs. FAU Owls NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
That says 59.5 and Ej says SOLD! I think these two offenses are going to have a field day to start the season and we might have 45 of these points by the half. I can certainly see a 24 – 21 game either at the half or just after it starts so we’ll just be needing a few more things to happen to topple that 60 mark and get paid.
