3 * FIU + 10.5
1 * FIU ML (to win 2.9)
Little less difficult to cap this one then your garden variety non conference game since they played in Week2 last yr in Bloomington....IU won 36-22 as a 9 pt fave...but it was misleading...FIU TE constantly worked the middle of the field with great success and FIU actually led 22-19 going into 4th qtr,,,and trailed 29-22 with less than 2 mins to go but threw a 96 yd pick six with less than 2 mins to go while driving for the tying score.....FIU was only outfirstdowned 25-24 and only outgained 439-406...it was a tossup game...FIU returns 9 offensive starters, including a decent QB and the same stud TE who wore them out last year.....and I will be damned if I will lay double digits with a defense that has allowed 750 pts their last 19 road games (39.5 PPG)
FIU 34-31

. I think this year it opened around 3.5, probably a more correct line.
