4* Free 2024 Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: Florida International -7
Let’s talk about this line—FIU is favored by 7, and honestly, I’m wondering how UTEP can keep pace. The Miners have struggled mightily, ranking near the bottom in both offense and defense, giving up over 440 yards per game and not putting up nearly enough on the other side of the ball.
Meanwhile, FIU may not be lighting it up either, but they’re a solid 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 road games, and with UTEP’s defense in shambles, it’s hard to see the Miners suddenly finding life.
Florida International is the -7 point spread favorite on the road vs. UTEP in a week eight matchup. We like the Panthers to cover, with our projected final score being 27-17 in favor of Florida International.
For the over/under, with the line sitting at 49 points, our projection of 44 points suggests taking the under as the best play.
So, whether you’re thinking ATS or looking at that total, you’ve got some serious angles to play with here. Stay tuned for more picks and analysis all season long because Week 8 is only the beginning of the college football betting fireworks!
