This week nine matchup will see the Old Dominion Monarchs hosting the Florida Atlantic Owls. This is an important Conference USA game because Florida Atlantic cannot afford another conference loss.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Owls won last years meeting 52-33. They have now won two games in a row against Old Dominion.
Florida Atlantic
Florida Atlantic chances to play in a Conference-USA championship game took a hit last week when they lost to Marshall 36-31. They are now 2-1 in the conference standings, trailing Western Kentucky, who is 4-0.
The Owls put up 419 yards of total offense last week, but could not get their run game going. They ran the ball 36 times for 57 yards. Their quarterback had to handle most of the work and threw for 362 yards. He did not throw a touchdown however, and had one interception.
Overall, the Owls offense clearly leans on their passing to help them win games. They are 24th in the country, averaging 282.9 yards per game. They average 31.7 points per game, which ranks 49th in the country.
In conference games however, they are scoring 34.7 points per game.

Defensively, the Owls have not been terrible until this recent game against the Thundering Herd. They allowed 461 total yards. Their run defense was shredded in this game, allowing 255 yards on 43 carries. This is an average of 5.9 yards per carry, which is very concerning.
They allow 29.6 points per game this season and in conference USA games, this number drops to 25.3. Going up against a poor offense, the Owls should be able to keep them in check.
Old Dominion Monarchs
The Monarchs have now lost six games in a row, meaning one more loss and they will not be bowl eligible. They just got crushed by UAB in their game last week. The score to this game was 38-14.
The Monarachs offense has been dreadful this season, averaging just 16.1 points per game. They are ranked 127th in this category, so it may be tough for them to find points in this game with the Owls.
Their rushing offense gains an average of 97.4 yards per game and their passing offense goes for an average of 146.9 yards per game.
They also only gain 244.3 total yards of offense, which is dead last in all of FBS football.
The defense for this Monarchs team has actually shown signs that they can make stops and play well. In terms of points allowed per game, the Monarchs allow 27.6, ranking 70th in the country. They are best at stopping the run, holding opponents to 131.9 yards per game. The pass defense is also average as they allow 215.6 yards per game.
FAU will look to throw the ball a ton, so if the Monarchs can disrupt this and force some mistakes, they will have a chance to keep this game close.

Free Week 9 NCAA Football Pick
The Owls are going to be mad after losing to Marshall last week. I think they will go into Old Dominion and beat the Monarchs without too much issue.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Old Dominion +14
This is a spot for the Owls where they might be looking ahead. They have Western Kentucky on deck, so it is likely that they will coast through this game. I will back the Monarchs as a double-digit dog at home.
